Turin Brakes at The Glee

Turin Brakes are Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian, who have known each other since their youthful days and developed a maturing musical chemistry ever since. Their debut album The Optimist carried the singles Underdog (Save Me) and Mind Over Money and earned them a Mercury Music nomination.

They were also front runners of a new scene that included Elbow and Kings Of Convenience. Tours followed with David Gray and Tom McRae ahead of their single Painkiller (Summer Rain) which became a Top 5 hit.

The boys also compiled one of the much cherished Late Night Tales compilations, which included their own cover of the Rolling Stones Moonlight Mile. More recently they have contributed the track Ascension Day to the ‘Spirit of Talk Talk’ project.

Lost Property – New studio album out 29 January 2016.

The cover artwork of Lost Property shows an urban spaceman marooned in a deckchair as, behind the winter lawn, half-hidden shapes loom in the dark. The image is a perfect match for this collection of dispatches from the elusive side of reality that’s just a twist away from the everyday. Their sonic camera pans wider and deeper – trademark West-Coast acoustic guitar and widescreen harmony textures wrap themselves around the enigmatic explorations of normality at the heart of Olly Knight’s lyrics. Sixteen years of touring across continents have sealed their reputation as a fearsome live act, able to hold any size crowd with the sheer chutzpah of their no-hidden-tricks raw and direct onstage presence.
