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.

Clear Blue Air Lyrics
Turin Brakes
Naked and faking on a poorly lit stairway
Then we were getting down on a dance floor
Oh my love where did you go?
She turned her body and soul into...
Air... I need you like air
Water... I need you like water
I've been away for a very long time
The roads and their refuge,
Keep you out of my mind
Arise arise, I wanna take off and drive
And throw my arms into, the clear blue...
Air... I need you like air
Water... I need you like water
Here she comes,
Buzzing through my memory,
Here's the ghost,
Perfume trickles through the...
Air... I need you like air
Water... I need you like water
So try, try to reach me
Even if you can't see me
I'll be around under the clear blue air.
