About
English duo Turin Brakes keep things simple in the execution of their music, but there is nothing simple about the brutal emotions these two dish out. With minimal instrumentation, Turin Brakes weave beguiling, deceptively winsome tales of panic, anxiety and tension around airy, weightless guitars while (singer) Ollie Knight's androgynous delivery adds to the uneasiness this dichotomy produces. Mercury Prize 2001 nominees in Britain, Turin Brakes prove they are more than just another pretty falsetto in the quietcore movement.
