Turn Me On, Indeed

Posted by on February 16 at 12:09 PM

Our Up & Comings section was so jam-packed this week that we didn’t have room to write about the Turn-Ons record release party. Silly us—we should have shoe-horned it in there somehow. Tonight they unveil their third and finest record, Parallels, at Neumo’s. Released on their own Childstar record label, Parallels is a gorgeous sprawl of articulate, glam-flavored pop that shimmers with their trademark harmonics and an enchanting Anglophile edge. Pleasing production values are courtesy of Brooklyn tastemaker Paul Mahajan, the wizard behind the Yeah Yeah Yeahs debut who the band met on their trip to NYC a couple of years ago. I swear this is one of Seattle’s most criminally overlooked bands.

A great band that stands alone but, you failed to mention the amount of times they handed you free-booze at their after-hours parties. Wink wink.

Free booze is delightful, as is passage to the Egg Room--but it doesn't buy my affection or criticism, sorry.

Just yankin' your chain. The praise is worthy, I've heard the album.

Turn Me On, Dead Man.

Holla and Happy Thanksgiving.

Hello! Very interesting and professional site.

Hey man...sorry I missed the party.
