Turn the other way

First rehersed November 2010
First gigged may 2011 – the maze, Nottingham
Recorded august 2011

Turn the other way is the only song on the album where the writing came together entirely in the rehearsal room. Nick and Rob got the riffs together, and Paul very quickly came up with the vocal hook. Despite Dave making persistant jokes about the pearl jam influence in TTN’s sound, We felt in would be tongue in cheek to arrange the song structure the same as a well known PJ song. An early mix of the track from the album sessions even included a reference to the reverse reverb vocal effect from “even flow”.

The track was recorded in one live take, with minimal guitar and bass overdubs. This is one of 2 tracks recorded with nicks black les Paul, and the only track to feature standard c tuning.
