Turin Brakes are a modern folk pop duo comprising two friends Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian, hailing from Balham, London, signed to the Source label. Turin Brakes have often been compared to many of the New Acoustic Movement's bands spawned in the late 90's such as Elbow, Starsailor, I Am Kloot (who actually were a support band for Turin Brakes on their Ether Song tour) and the Norwegian band the Kings of Convenience. Their debut album "The Optimist LP" (2001) was nominated for the Mercury Prize that same year. In 2003 "Ether Song" got to #3 in the UK album charts and spawned a Top 5 single "Pain Killer". Further commercial success was not achieved.

Bright Golden Lights (home Recording) Lyrics
Turin Brakes
The little men stroke my head
The little men in my bed
They suck me in for the evening
To the bright golden lights
I got to find my way out
I'm spinning around in my life
I got to get stoned or I can't go to sleep
The little men in my tears
The little men in my fears
They're pulling me out of the ether
To the bright golden lights
I got to find my way out
I'm spinning around in my life
I got to get stoned or I can't go to sleep
A burnt out firefly
My wings wont reach the sky
I'm a burnt out firefly, oh
Taking over body and mind
Swimming in circles starring at stars
Some satellite to beam me up
Light me a candle I'm so sick of sleeping
In the bright golden lights
I got to find my way out
I'm spinning around in my life
I got to get stoned or I can't go to sleep
