Turnover Celebrate New Record ‘Myself In The Way’ at Packed Roadrunner in Boston! [Photos]

Virginia Beach dream pop/shoegaze band Turnover just released their latest record, Myself In The Way, on Friday, November 4th, before kicking off a month-and-a-half-long run across North America on Saturday, November 5th at a packed record release show at Boston’s Roadrunner! Along for the ride on this night were supporting acts George Clanton, New Zealand’s Yumi Zouma, and opener Horse Jumper of Love. 

The night got started with a mellow but thoroughly enjoyable set from Boston slowcore act Horse Jumper of Love. The trio just recently released their latest record, Natural Part, in June and are accompanying Turnover for much of their run. 

Up next, New Zealand alt-pop band Yumi Zouma performed as a three-piece to put on a dreamy set of pop-infused music. They just released an album back in March entitled Present Tense. Lead vocalist Christie Simpson sounded absolutely phenomenal live; definitely a band I’d love to see do a headlining run in the US so I could catch a more extended set next time!

Last, before the headliners of the night, was an interesting set from George Clanton. Much of the crowd seemed to eat up the energetic vaporwave artist’s music! He played his set solo, backed by synths and beats and dimly lit with a vibrant light-up background behind him that oscillated between lighting up different designs and actually displaying lyrics and, at one point, joked that he won support slot duties from a contest on TikTok. 

After a bit of a wait for the set to be changed over, Turnover emerged, lit by a projector to kick right into two new tracks, “Tears of Change” and the title track, “Myself In The Way.” Frontman Austin Getz’s modulated vocals seemed to shimmer and hover above the crowd as they played the newer, more electro-pop-inspired tunes before continuing on with older fan favourites “Humming” and “Super Natural.”

As this was a record release show, it saw the live debuts of several new tracks, including “Fantasy,” “Queen in the River,” and “People That We Know.” At the same time, the band knows their audience and was sure to include a plethora of older material from Peripheral Vision, Altogether, and Good Nature. The sing-alongs were loudest during set-closers “Dizzy on the Comedown” and “New Scream.”

You can catch Turnover on the road supporting Myself In The Way through December 18th with a rotating cast of support acts, especially towards the end, though Horse Jumper of Love and Yumi Zouma will be on the bulk of the run.
