2022 sees Turin Brakes release their ninth studio album WIDE-EYED NOWHERE. The band will play a handful of festivals over the summer, followed by an extensive UK concert tour starting in September taking them into 2023.
The South London 4-Piece comprising Olly Knights, Gale Paridjanian, Rob Allum and Eddie Myer recorded this new set of songs at Twin Palms - Olly's garden studio - over the summer of 2021, choosing to let time infuse into the music and mature in a way it couldn’t in a pressurised commercial studio setting. The band say 'We surprised ourselves with what came out - a sweeter, groovier set of songs in no hurry to be anything but themselves.'
Turin Brakes released Mercury Prize shortlisted the Optimist Lp in March 2001 (achieving gold status in the UK), followed up by 2003’s Ether Song which featured the top 5 hit single Pain Killer (Summer Rain). The band has since moved on to rack up seven top 40 singles, seven top 40 albums and over a million record sales worldwide.
Great record from a fantastic bamd, been listening for over 20 years. Recently i bought the last five albums and i was not disappointed. This is one of my new favorites. These guys never disappoint. Can't wait to see them in Southend next week ❤❤❤🎵🎵🎵❤️
Thanks guys for producing new music after all these years!! You deserve to be 10x bigger, seeing you guys at Brudenell Club in Leeds was the best gig I've been too, beating U2, Oasis xyz.....special night!
Great song, released at about the same time as Have a Nice Day by the Stereophonics. I detect lots of similarities in the melody/chord progression, which one influenced the other I wonder....
Saw them a few weeks ago at brudenell social club, blown away and somehow I was compelled to sing songs I could still remember not hearing for about 20 yrs!! Wow
