Turin Brakes announce Bridport show at the Electric Palace this spring on 5/05/23The news comes as the legendary indie band release “Up For Grabs”, the second track to be taken from their acclaimed new album “Wide-Eyed Nowhere”, out now on Cooking Vinyl Records.
The glorious “Up For Grabs” is a song set at the point a relationship matures and its characters begin letting each other go. The music contrasts with the subject, its slinky grooves, Spanish guitar and piano hooks sounding more like an ode to new love… “My love is up for grabs”.
Wide Eyed Nowhere is Turin Brakes’ ninth full studio album, a set of new songs emerging 21 years after their seminal debut (which was reissued last year, and flew to the top spot of the Indie Album Chart). 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.
Of Wide-Eyed Nowhere the band say:
‘We surprised ourselves with what came out; a sweeter, groovier set of songs in no hurry to be anything but themselves…. Friends would visit, kids would add a voice or two, bees would buzz and we’d get to sit in the South London sun while the music poured out of the speakers and floated across the lawn. Sometimes we decided it’s okay to just let it happen naturally, not to try too hard – just get out of the way let the songs take shape, and that maybe you don’t have to be in a bad place to make the deeper cuts.’
The album is available to pre-order on a limited edition fuchsia vinyl, a white signed vinyl, CD, deluxe CD with 5 bonus tracks and a cassette.
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.
The band played a handful of festivals over the summer, followed by an extensive 43 date UK concert tour.
