Turin Brakes strip back to basics for an acoustic tour, heading to The Apex in December.
The band explain; "We couldn't ignore all the love we got for the first acoustic tour (in 2019) when we kept having to add more and more shows due to the demand. We ended up doing about 50 shows when we originally planned to do just one or two! So we decided to do it again and make it another very special and intimate performance. We honestly can't wait."
Turin Brakes released their Mercury Prize nominated debut 'The Optimist' LP in March 2001 (achieving gold status in the UK) and followed it up in 2003 with their most commercially successful album, 'Ether Song', featuring the Top 5 hit single 'Pain Killer (Summer Rain)'. Since then the band have racked up seven Top 40 singles, six top 40 albums and over a million record sales worldwide.
"It’s like dustbowl folk music refracted through inner-city noise" - NME
Recent live reviews cite them as "a formidable live act with equally killer songs", whilst according to The Sunday Times, the band "continue to excel" in a 4-star review of their latest album, 'Wide-Eyed Nowhere'.
Plus support from Sun Cutter
The eponymous debut album from Sun Cutter was released in 2022. Sun Cutter, real name Kevin Pearce, hails from Colchester. Kevin suffered a heart attack (on a golf course). As well as having to redress some lifestyle habits, his rehabilitation involved writing and recording the Sun Cutter project. It is an album of beautiful driving, harmony-drenched indie-soul and folk-rock that looks to the light for reflection. It is at time reminiscent of some purveyors of classic songwriting, such as Tim Buckley, John Lennon, Cat Stevens, albeit with a modern do over. The second Sun Cutter album is due for release in October this year. Instagram: @kevinpearcemusic
