Turnover

Turnover reached an inflection point following 2022’s Myself In The Way, following a prolific era defined by constant innovation and the expansion of their sound. After their longest gap between releases, the band—Austin and Casey Getz, Danny Dempsey, and Nick Rayfield—reunited to write collaboratively, shaping songs through in-room improvisation. The result is Down On Earth, their sixth album and a defining statement that simultaneously embraces their roots and the lessons of a decade-spanning career.

Originally a Virginia Beach punk band, Turnover spent years expanding their sound—from the pop-punk of Magnolia to the dreamlike textures of Peripheral Vision and Good Nature, and later into experimental territory across Altogether and Myself In The Way. Down On Earth is evolution by way of synthesis — echoing aesthetics they’ve played with but delivered with a musical acumen sharpened over 10 years of experimentation and growing pains.

With longtime front-of-house engineer Zac Montez producing, the band aimed to capture their live energy in the studio. Lyrically, the album emerged organically, blending love, loss, and existential reflection through a stream-of-consciousness approach. The result is a dynamic, atmospheric record that balances psychedelia with sharp songwriting—ultimately affirming Turnover’s identity as a band unconstrained by genre, but grounded in their own creative vision.
