Turin Brakes
Turin Brakes are an English folk-rock duo formed in London, consisting of childhood friends Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian. Known for their rich acoustic sound and emotive songwriting, they burst onto the scene in the early 2000s with their critically acclaimed debut album, The Optimist LP, which earned them a Mercury Prize nomination in 2001. With a blend of warm harmonies, introspective lyrics, and a touch of atmospheric rock, Turin Brakes quickly carved out a space in the UK indie scene.
Over the years, the band has continued to release a steady stream of albums, exploring new sonic directions while staying true to their melodic roots. Their music often features a mix of acoustic guitar work, subtle electronics, and heartfelt vocals. Albums like Ether Song, JackInABox, and more recently, Wide-Eyed Nowhere, have showcased their evolution while keeping that signature Turin Brakes vibe. Whether performing stripped-back acoustic sets or full-band shows, they’ve maintained a loyal following and remain a staple of thoughtful, emotionally driven British indie music.
