Synopsis

Album Description

TURN PALE, hailing from Bloomington Indiana, is the latest addition to the What Else records lineage, of twisted, subterranean, latex melting rock. Blending haunting post-punk oblong beats (influenced more by the early 80's ROUGH TRADE sound than by newer bands) while remaining mordantly danceable ala JOY DIVISION, TURN PALE creates a rawness that is Omni-directional in it?s influence and style. Their "contemporaries" would read something like: THE RAPTURE, LOVE LIFE, LIARS, THE VOGUE, but they bring far more to record through the truncated drum sounds and sonically abridged vocal styling. For fans of Punk as mutant form of nihilism with all the attendant gratifying grace of mescaline harmonics and hanging wringing lyrics, TURN PALE offers a naked lunch at a Burroughsian drive through.

CD Reviews

Turn Pale: death disco for the masses

10/12/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

""Turn Pale is part of a lively music scene down in Bloomington, Indiana, so it's not surprising to hear that all four are previsouly known for other bands such as Panoply Academy and Drekka. Their debut CD, 'Kill the Lights', is an album heavily influenced by the gothic sort of post punk that The Birthday Party made their trademark in the early '80's. There's the same sort of menacing darkness, off-kilter rhythms, sheets of noise and not the least energetic performances. But what truly sets this record on fire are the gutteral howls from vocalist Michael Anderson. To say this approach is different from his other band, Drekka, is definitely an understatement. Despite its rather bleak course, the outcome is still upbeat and as the press kit rightly states, "danceable." Turn Pale, along with their pals in Love Life, are one of the most exciting new post punk bands I've heard in quite a while. If you're a fan of those early '80's Rough Trade records, you definitely need this. If not, probably couldn't hurt. " - from Broken Face Magazine. Says it all, for me."
