Combining pop-punk and ambient space rock together sounds like something implausible and even if it was possible, why on earth would you want to do it? Well that’s just what the Color Turning strived to do and they accomplished success on an epic scale. Having played alongside the likes of The Spill Canvas, Dashboard Confessional, Hello Goodbye, Plain White T’s, and Thrice, one would think almost instantaneously that the band was nothing more than an emo or pop-punk offshoot. But that’s far from the truth. In fact, the group deploys instrumentation as an orchestra would, often building up to a huge crescendo and always with healthy doses of melody and harmony. Layers of effects lend an experimental vibe that is straight out of the Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, and Mew world. “Good Hands Bad Blood” is an album that is at once both creative and nearly perfect.
