flipturn
Indie rock five-piece powerhouse flipturn have announced a new album Burnout Days, due out January 24th via Dualtone Records. Across its 12 songs, the forthcoming collection finds flipturn returning as sonic architects, harnessing their impressive knack for hooks, shimmering soundscapes and “nostalgia-inducing lyrical delivery” (Uproxx). But on Burnout Days, flipturn arrives with more grit, craft and vulnerability than ever before - a clear evolution in the band’s sound, and one that reflects their growth as musicians and individuals.
Recorded at Sonic Ranch Studios near El Paso, Texas and produced by Chad Copelin (Wilderado, Sasha Sloan, BRONCHO), Burnout Days is inspired by the band’s journey on the road, as they sort through challenges like self-esteem, codependency, addiction and the twists and turns of day-to-day life in one’s mid-twenties. Together, they uncover the beauty that exists even in times of burnout through a mix of raw, rhythmic moments and sonic experimentation - all with a palpable sense of meticulousness and maturity.
The new album arrives on the other side the band’s debut Shadowglow, which found the “budding rockstars” (V Magazine) sharing stages with Two Door Cinema Club, The Revivalists, Mt. Joy, Goth Babe and Rainbow Kitten Surprise and breaking into the festival circuit (including acclaimed sets at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits and Governor's Ball) - a culmination of years of hard work and the coming together of the band’s lineup: Basse, Tristan Duncan (lead guitar), Madeline Jarman (bass, backing vocals), Mitch Fountain (synth, guitar), and Devon VonBalson (drums).
Formed in the small coastal town of Fernandina Beach, FL, flipturn first came together in high school, where they worked passionately to turn garage meet-ups into playing college house shows into headlining sold-out dates for thousands, performing across continents to their rapidly-expanding and deeply-dedicated fanbase. In just a year, the band jumped from playing Bowery Ballroom (575 capacity) in New York to Brooklyn Steel (1,800), from Black Cat (800) to 9:30 Club (1,200) in Washington, D.C., and from Lincoln Hall (500) to House of Blues (1,800) in Chicago. For their upcoming album release tour, the band will push into their biggest rooms yet. This year will also find flipturn making appearances at Austin City Limits, All Things Go, Ohana Fest and across Europe (including already sold-out shows in London, Paris, Manchester and Amsterdam).
