![]() “Can I stay at home? / I don’t wanna go / I don’t wanna wake up till the sun is hanging low,” are just the passages that suit this kind of ring. Austin Gaet’z vocal key, and the cold-glossy instrumentals give this track the return-factor Peripheral Vision deserves. “New Scream” – This song’s simple riffs and soothing bass drums, shoot an unforgettable and catchy beam of euphoria into the blood streams. ![]() Notice the rash but soft whirling chimes introducing the opening verses, this ambience is dredged across the LP like a warm blanket, and when you’d least expect it to come back, it does so to frame you back into the chill-like qualities that this album provokes. It’s a turbulent cross cut between dialectic lyricism and soft progression-core, which rightfully, embedded itself within the greatest indie hits of the 10’s. The performative lyrics and guitars give an un-campy affection, illustrating the band’s musical circumference contrast to their distortive roots. “Cutting my fingers off” – Everything that happens in this opening song is the synthesis of Peripheral Vision. Peripheral Vision is the definition of emo sunshine, and I could go on, but I’d rather let the songs do the talking. Peripheral Vision is like an album that pays homage to The Cure’s riffy synthesis but pushes on the progressive tastes of Beach House and Slowdive, while still keeping true to their likeness with groups like Titlefight or Seahaven. Turnover did a complete, well, turnover, losing their punk roots and playing to the sonics of dream-o and shoe-gaze with this release. It’s these themes, plus the hums of Austin Gaetz’ vocals, that drive Peripheral Vision to a cold and cathartic corner of a year where you can’t help but pick it back up for old time’s sake, over a hot cup o’ joe in a pair of loafers-or Ugg’s, however you role. This album draws distinctions between bittersweet heartache and stress, ringing on love deprivation that you may even get from the coldest novellas. This dream-rock release sensationalized the hunger for softer qualities in a mostly distortive enclave. In came Turnover’s sophomore album, Peripheral Vision. The stage was set for contemporary genres to switch things up during the 10’s. All things from Travis Scott’s Rodeo, Tame Impala’s Currents, Beach House’s Depression Cherry, and even Bring Me The Horizon’s That’s The Spirit laid the groundwork for tonal re-imaginings that mainstream and underground acts took advantage of. ![]() The soundscape 2015 presented was one delighted in a re-energized sense of nuance and experimentation. I wouldn’t be the first to attest to this album’s value on a personal scale, considering it came out during a period in my life that was tumultuously anxiety driven. But it’s almost going to be ten years since Peripheral Vision was released, and with fall-winter around the corner, it seems the most fitting to explain just why Peripheral Vision, a punk album from 2015, should be highly regarded for the season. ![]() I’m going to try to leave as much fluff about how this album revitalized the punk scene in the middle-late 10’s enough music publishers have gotten that point across.
