Biography:
Turin Brakes are a modern folk pop duo comprising two friends Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian, hailing from Balham, London, signed to Cooking Vinyl.
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 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.

The Letting Down
Turin Brakes
Outbursts
Intro:
E Eb E A
Verse:
E Eb E A
All of the stars just fell out of the sky
E Eb E A
The perfect painting peers before your eyes
A
Useless Empty Gesture
Chorus:
E Eb
Like a broken scarecrow
E A
Like a pawn slide that you already know
A
Useless empty gesture
Lay back let long rise camoflauge your skin
Take refuge in people that dont know where you’ve been
Just perfect empty blue skies
You’re a broken halo
You’re a 747 coming in too slow
Just useless empty blue skies
Just let us drift away
Just let us drift away
