Turner recently released an EP titled Mittens featuring a new mix of the title track plus four additional songs. A video for “Mittens” starring Turner as a slow-motion Elvis is available HERE. The original version of “Mittens” appears on Turner’s current album, the Butch Walker-produced Positive Songs For Negative People, a triumphant culmination of a decade’s work for the prolific troubadour. Recorded in Nashville, the album has Turner rave reviews in both the U.S. and the U.K.
“The songs on his clever and invigorating new album walk on the dark side but always manage to find the light.”
– The New York Daily News
“Frank Turner emotes the way Reggie Jackson swings: with full force, and zero fear of striking out.”
– Paste Magazine
“…in peak songwriting form… Turner sounds ready for battle with the world in full shout mode…”
– A.V. Club
“Positive Songs For Negative People puts him back into the fight”
