Our Take

Ah, Turin Brakes, the perpetually optimistic duo who seem to have an uncanny ability to make even the rainiest days feel like a sunny picnic in the park. Their latest offering, The Optimist LP, is a delightful concoction of lush melodies, introspective lyrics, and infectious hooks that will have you tapping your feet and pondering life's greatest mysteries all at once.

From the opening track, "Feeling Oblivion," it's clear that Turin Brakes have lost none of their magic touch when it comes to crafting beautifully crafted indie folk tunes. The harmonies between Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian are as tight as ever, their voices intertwining like a pair of old friends sharing secrets by a crackling campfire.

Tracks like "Underdog (Save Me)" and "The Door" showcase the band's ability to blend heartfelt introspection with catchy pop sensibilities, creating a perfect balance that keeps the listener engaged from start to finish. And let's not forget about the gorgeous string arrangements sprinkled throughout the album, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the band's already impressive sound.

Overall, The Optimist LP is a shining example of Turin Brakes at the top of their game, proving once again why they are one of the UK's most beloved indie acts. So grab a cup of tea, sit back, and let the music of Turin Brakes wash over you like a warm hug from an old friend. You won't be disappointed.
