Good Nature is much more mellow than its predecessor, and a lot less of the focus is on creating the Peripheral Vision-esque vocal hooks than on walls of immersive sound. The fleshed out, intricate textures of Sunshine Type and Pure Devotion are embellished by warm harmonics and irresistible understated vocal flourishes – telling of the thought that has gone into something that sounds so effortless on the face of it.Ĭomparisons to Peripheral Vision will probably inform most fan opinions on Good Nature, and there are notable differences between the two. Every instrumental aspect is supportive and constructive – guitars become more simplistic to show off the vocals and vice versa, and everything comes together to rise and fall to create a seeping, quiet euphoria that’s wrapped itself around your little finger before you’ve even realised it. In fact, it’s pushed further by a collection of pretty, chilled-out tracks that are all too easy to lose yourself in, with singer Austin Getz’s gorgeous voice leading the way into the bliss. Good Nature, said follow-up, further solidifies the identity Turnover have built in the last few years. Peripheral Vision has since become something of a cult classic, and news of a follow-up earlier this year left followers positively salivating at the prospect of more. Their incredible 2015 record Peripheral Vision presented a Turnover who’d had a shoegaze makeover, with no rough edges to be heard. In terms of Turnover’s reinvention, their new guise fits them so well that it’s hard to believe they formed to make any other kind of music, and there have been no such qualms about them trying to be like everyone else. While these albums were more than competent at starting the next evolutionary stage for both bands, they both took time to fully adjust to, and suspicions began to arise surrounding the motives behind them aside from the expected “sellout” jibes, there were genuine questions of trendhopping being asked by their fanbases. Bands like Citizen and Balance And Composure’s most recent albums acted as their first steps into more polished, less accessible territories. Reinvention is arguably necessary for the career of any band to progress, and it’s something the emo scene has caught onto en masse in the last few years.
