The ambiguously (and excellently) named I’m Turning Into play angular post-punk that’s rife with catchy melody and little quirks. The band has discovered a way to merge jagged guitar riffs and up-beat, playful rhythms with infectious vocal hooks. The song “I’m Going” stands out as perfect example, opening with cutting-yet-melodic guitar lines before exploding into a chorus that you can only imagine a room full of sweaty, dedicated fans singing along to. There’s a bit of that sloppy 90’s indie sound in there too—sort of like the Archers of Loaf meeting Devo or even the Dickies. The band also has a penchant for playing around with rhythm and noise; the 12-minute song “Don Keehotay” is a cacophonous—yet glorious—mess of scattered drums, weird psych harmonies and feedback-laden guitar. Basically, I’m Turning Into have taken the best parts of indie, punk, and post-punk, added their own idiosyncrasies, and created some amazing tunes. Don’t miss their Deli CMJ party at Spike Hill on Saturday 10.23 with tons of great indie bands! Full schedule here. – Bill Dvorak
