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.

Emergency 72 Lyrics
Turin Brakes
Well all my colours bleed for you
Cant you see them running?
My hazy hills glow green for you
You could just call me, you know?
On my mobile number cause Im always in
And I was just thinking about you on emergency
72 72 72 yeah
Well all my lust comes down to dust
Cant you see it crumbling?
My hazy hill come down to rust
But you could call me, you know? mmmm
Youre pulling me out of this whirlpool
Your making me breathe again
And I was just thinking about you on emergency
72 72 72 yeah
And I just cant forget 72
And I just cant forget
72 72 72 72 72 72 yeah 72 72 72 72 72 72 yeah
72 72 72 72 72 72 yeah 72 72 72 72 72 72 yeah 72
