In the Say ZuZu catalog, Take These Turns was the record with the shortest gestation period. The resulting sound is us feeling brash and emboldened by our leap into the life of a touring rock band. For the entirety of the two weeks it took to record and mix this record in Franklin, Tennessee, we were sleeping on our school bus (“The Bull”) in a WalMart parking lot, cooking on a camp stove, and soaking up the sounds of session players ripping it up at Robert’s Western World on Lower Broad in Nashville. It wasn’t pretty, but we still saw the road as an exciting destination. Take These Turns is the sound of movement, the sound of our band’s musical adolescence, and the sound of a band in tune with the pavement humming beneath its wheels.
