Turn and Face Me is the third studio album by Los Angeles band the Blood Arm, released worldwide on July 4, 2011,[1] almost five years after their previous album Lie Lover Lie. Recorded in Burbank, California, it was produced by David Newton, from the popular late '80s band the Mighty Lemon Drops.[2]
Turn and Face Me received generally positive reviews. In their 8/10 review, Punk Rock ist nicht tot described the album as "bubbly, infectious, inventive pop" and "fun with a capital ‘F’"[3] while Q Magazine called the album "playfully knowing indie rock that could almost be a collision between The Scots and The Boomtown Rats",[4] though the album also drew comparisons with Roxy Music, Kevin Rowland and the Doors.[5]
The band promoted the album with a lengthy European tour, beginning and eventually culminating in Germany. The promotional tour included an appearance on Berlin Live (a popular music show from Berlin) alongside Art Brut and dEUS.[6]
Produced by The Blood Arm, David Newton & Josiah Mazzaschi.
