Virginia Beach’s Turnover underwent quite the transformation with the release of their last album Peripheral Vision, which sees them now boast a dreamy, hazey sound that they naturally emit with such poise and grace. Having previously played London’s The Dome earlier this year with longtime touring pals Citizen, the band made their way back a few short months later for their own sold out show at the same venue after being upgraded from the adjacent Boston Music Rooms.
Watching Turnover play is a very dreamlike experience, as they swift through a setlist composed primarily of Peripheral Vision‘s best, paired with new tracks ‘Humblest Pleasures’ and ‘Change Irreversible’. Weaving through song after song with such great musicianship and graceful confidence, the band give off a certain magnetism that only resulted in drawing the already devoted crowd even further in.
Despite possessing an ethereal vibe not often associated with rock gig antics like moshing or stage diving, that didn’t stop the group of stage divers undergoing their constant rotation of hopping on stage before jumping off into a crowd surf and making their way back in a cyclical manner. Whether they’re being wistful and glum in tunes like opening track ‘Cutting My Fingers Off’ and the evident crowd favourite ‘I Would Hate You If I Could’ or playing what is arguably their poppiest offering ‘Dizzy On The Comedown’; Turnover have a very hypnotising presence. Each song, without fail, is presented with such an enchanting performance that the already devoted crowd are drawn even further in.
Repeatedly thanking fans for selling out the night’s show, the band were obviously humbled by the turnout of eager faces filling the “largest overseas headline show” they have played to date, but surely gigs of this size in the UK won’t be foreign to the band for long.
