Turin BrakesTurin Brakes is a modern folk pop duo comprising two friends Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian, hailing from Ballham, London, signed to the Source label. Turin Brakes has often been compared to such quietcore bands as Coldplay, Travis, and the Norwegian band the Kings of Convenience, whose 2001 album entitled Quiet Is the New Loud describes Turin Brakes well too. The band was also one of the focal points to the so-called New Acoustic Movement around the turn of the millennium. Their first album, The Optimist LP was greeted with much acclaim, and received a nomination for the prestigious Mercury Music Prize. Their sophomore effort, Ether Song, proved to be equally popular and reached the dizzy heights of number 4 in the UK album charts. The album provided several stunning tracks, not only the singles released (Long Distance, Pain Killer, Average Man, 5 Mile) but also the enchanting Clear Blue Air, and hidden track, Ether Song. There is currently much anticipation surrounding the forthcoming third album, entitled Jackinabox, which is due for release summer 2005. This is to be preceeded by the superbly catchy single Fishing For A Dream. Discography
