There’s a warmth to opener Supernatural that encapsulates the meditative quality of Turnover’s third LP, Good Nature. It starts with the swell of an organ, before a cascade of reverb-soaked notes flow effortlessly from a sparkling two-guitar harmony. They shimmer past with the accent of well-worn tape before decaying off into the ether – Austin Getz’s vocals gently propelling the song forward toward each chorus. His voice is equally as delicate on Pure Devotion. A song which starts with jangling jazz chords and builds layers of melody and sound with each passing bar, leaving the listener with a lush illustration of a chilled summer idyll.
As orchestrators, the four-piece have done well here, creating rich soundscapes with a rewarding complexity to them. It’s an improvement in that sense from sophomore effort Peripheral Vision.But where it does well in execution, it falls slightly short in energy. The hooks are there but not always easily massaged out. It lacks some of the propulsion of their sophomore album, particularly some of the moodiness that made it an interesting listen. The exception is All That It Ever Was, which drives forward easily with a catchy vocal and guitar line.
