Irish newcomers Turn are picking up justifiably deserved acclaim at the moment and this six-track mini-album is a taster of things to come. Kicking off with the furious Pixie-sque "Beretta", Ollie Cole's vocals gushing with sincerity.

"Facedown" is a gorgeously slow, dark and moody epic, Cole sounding fragile and stretching to the upper echelons of his vocal abilities. "Truth" is another heart-string-tugger capturing delicate fretwork and a soothing bass. "Beeswax" ups the ante with its searing guitars and distorted vocals whilst "Never Needed You" is classic with its rousing ending.

As debuts go this is up there, although it would have been better to hang on while longer and have gone for a full album release. I'm sure Turn have plenty more surprises up their collective sleeves. We watch with anticipation.
