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; 'There's always something magical between band and audience at our live shows and we can't wait to get out and see everyone again... we've really missed it!' 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.'
The South London 4 - Piece comprising Olly Knights, Gale Paridjanian, Rob All um 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. 'Friends would visit, ki ds 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.
