The Lovers - A Friend In The World - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Lovers - Dark Light [COMPACT DISCS] date 10/12/2010

There is a closeness at the heart of Turnover's aptly titled new album, 'Altogether.' Though it's the first collection the trio has written while living on opposite coasts, the record actually represents the group's most collaborative and connected work to date, showcasing the intuitive, near-telepathic relationship frontman Austin Getz has developed over the years with his bandmates. Turnover first emerged roughly a decade ago in Virginia Beach, VA, but the group's critical and commercial breakthrough didn't arrive until six years later, when they cracked the Top 5 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart with their acclaimed sophomore album, 'Peripheral Vision.' The band-which consists of Getz, his brother Casey on drums, and their childhood friend Danny Dempsey on bass-followed it up in 2017 with 'Good Nature,' a streaming smash that racked up roughly 40 million plays on Spotify alone and which Vice proclaimed to be Inchtheir best album yet.Inch 'Altogether' demonstrates the band's eclectic mix of personalities from the very start, opening with a lo-fi, jazzy intro that quickly gives way to the driving drums and delay-drenched guitar of InchStill In Motion.Inch Like much of the album to come, the song is a meditation on change and perspective, on learning to quiet your mind and appreciate the moment before it's gone. The bittersweet InchNo ReplyInch reckons with guilt over failing to be present with a loved one, while the effervescent InchMuch After FeelingInch recognizes the sacrifices we make to stay connected across geographical distance, and the breezy InchPartiesInch grapples with the kind of self-consciousness that can leave us prisoners of our own design.

2022 from the Grammy nominated American violinist and former member of the National Symphony Orchestra.
