![]() The drums and bass on this song keep the song chugging along, while the guitars and vocals do their thing. One of the closer tracks “Youth” is another notable song, as I’m a sucker for exposed bass lines. ![]() There’s just always been something about guitars and vocals syncing up that really brings it home for me. Shy Vein is another favorite of mine, mostly with how the guitars and vocals interact. With tracks like Neurotic, or even Shy Vein, where it sounds like the harmonies play a big role in the sound. While I love the album, and the sound they’ve been able to produce, the only thing I’m curious about is how they’re going to pull off the harmonies. With plenty of tremolo guitar picking, and drums that really bring the backbone, this track might be one of my favorites during these first couple of listens. I believe this is where it really shines, both instrumentally and vocally. Next song, and the single/music video they released prior to release is titled “Neurotic”. Guitar, bass, drums, & vocals are all blended excellently, and all have nice tones as well. Putting this track first was probably a smart decision, as it gives you a sense of what the whole album is going to sound like. While many may be a bit thrown off, I was at first too, after giving it a few listens I’m tempted to say it may become one of my favorite albums of 2017.īringing a more 80’s sort of sound, the band starts off the album with the track “Vertigo”. Not to mention the 2 song EP they released last year, which seems to be the transitioning point of when they decided to change up their sound. One would think this could have been due to a change in producer, yet Sam Pura, who also produced their last release FREE, is the producer on this newest album. With their newest release they’ve decided to stray away from the traditional hardcore sound and embrace more shoegaze influences. HUNDREDTH have been widely regarded as one of the leading hardcore bands in the scene, with a discography going back to 2010. 7.FFO: Title Fight, Citizen, Superheaven, Turnover Catchy melodies and lyrics that are relatable and get ingrained in your head are the highlights of this nostalgia driven LP. With Peripheral Vision, Turnover have shown their growth as a band. ‘I Would Hate You If I Could’ is a sentimental song that pulls emotions into the ambient atmosphere. The change that occurs in the middle of the song is haunting and unexpected. ‘Take My Head’ is one of these tracks that sticks out, unleashing more punk vibes, featuring a very prominent bass line and fuzz driven guitars. ![]() ![]() It is not really a big deal but it can be a little confusing when playing the album on shuffle or in a variety of playlists because you won’t recognize the song right away. Eight out of the eleven tracks begin with a fade in or volume swells. One thing to make note of across the majority of songs on this album are the way they start. He describes it perfectly well on ‘Dizzy on the Comedown,’ describing, “ sing along to a song that I know, it goes a ba ba ba sing it over and over let it hypnotize you.” A clever line to sing because I was hypnotized already. Austin Getz’s produces melodies with his voice and weaves every word perfectly into the mix of wonder and nostalgia that the music encompasses. The lyrics are easy to comprehend and sing along with, bleeding comfort and memorability into ears of every listener. The vocals drone on in a monotonous tone, adding to the whole trance. The guitars are mesmerizing with the way the lead guitar is always moving about, spinning off leads and arpeggios above the standard chord progression. ‘Hello Euphoria’ is a perfect light to shed on all of these influences. Peripheral Vision is a mix of emo, shoe-gaze and pop punk. During the middle of the opening track a vicious snare section is unleashed as the band explodes their sound with louder tones and more layers or delays and a bit harsher vocals. Turnover never shy away from their strengths, allowing their ability to create dynamics shine. Lead single ‘Cutting My Fingers Off’ is the opener of the album, establishing a setting and painting a picture of lush, warm guitar tones and spacey vocals aligned with grooves from the rhythm section. This year we have seen him dive into some different projects, and Turnover’s new album Peripheral Vision is one of those different albums he can use to claim to fame. He is known for helping defile mosh pits by producing Blacklisted, establishing emotional trauma with La Dispute and even giving The Wonder Years their birth right with The Upsides. It seems like a six degress of Kevin Bacon but for music. I am surprised at how many projects Will Yip takes on every year.
