Turnover Marks 10 Years of Peripheral Vision—Still Defining a Scene
May 6, 2025 • by Phyoe Thaung
Anyone with a soft spot for hazy riffs, heavy hearts, and the soundtrack of their restless youth found themselves packed into the Sunshine Theater on May 3, 2025. Turnover’s Peripheral Vision 10-year anniversary tour hit Albuquerque in the middle of a rare spring rain, but that didn’t stop the sold-out crowd from wrapping around the block well before doors opened. By the time the house lights dimmed, the venue was wall-to-wall with fans ready to revisit the record that defined a decade of dream pop and post-emo evolution.
As the opening notes of “Cutting My Fingers Off” washed over the room, the atmosphere shifted from quiet anticipation to full catharsis. Turnover delivered Peripheral Vision front to back, and every song hit like a wave. “New Scream” and “Humming” had the entire floor moving in sync, while “Dizzy on the Comedown” and “Take My Head” turned into massive singalongs that could’ve drowned out the PA. Even deep cuts like “Diazepam” and “Threshold” felt as fresh and resonant as they did a decade ago.
Austin Getz’s vocals floated steady and ethereal over the crowd, weaving through the shimmering guitars and warm, moody lights. Tracks like “Hello Euphoria” and “I Would Hate You If I Could” reminded everyone why this album became a touchstone—not just for Turnover, but for a whole wave of bands and listeners who came of age alongside it.
After closing out the album with the slow burn of “Intrapersonal,” the band kept the momentum going with a few surprises. “Humblest Pleasures” and “Stone Station” made welcome returns, while two brand-new songs hinted at what’s next. The encore wrapped with the crowd still in full voice, especially for fan favorites “Super Natural” and “Most of the Time.”

The band kept conversation to a minimum, letting the music and the shared energy between crowd and stage do the talking. This wasn’t a nostalgia act—it was a reminder of how far both Turnover and their listeners have come. As fans eventually stepped back out into the wet Albuquerque night, one thing was clear. Peripheral Vision wasn’t just an album they remembered. It’s still the record that shaped their sound, their friendships, and their quietest, most important moments.
