Editorial Reviews

2010 album from the British Folk/Pop duo. Olly and Gale have rediscovered the working practices that got them started in the first place, and, with it, their old sense of mission. Written, produced and (for the most part) performed entirely by the two of them, Outbursts is a collection of songs that returns to the essence of Turin Brakes, and not only echoes the quiet, edgy genius of their most celebrated work, but surpasses it.

This review is from: Outbursts (Audio CD)

This album has been in permanent rotation since my ears found it in late March - this is also the first Turin material I had heard. Primarily an acoustic record, the structures and crescendo style ('sea change', 'apocolips', 'radio') has everything music junkies search for...The soul is there in the lyrics but more importantly in the music, whether it be with a single instrument ('outbursts') to an oncoming tidal wave of rhythmic symmetry ('apocolips') This made me dip into their older material and to compare, this is much more polished and the production sounds wonderful - definitely building upon Dark on Fire's style. It's one of those special records in which your favorite song jumps from one to another with each successful listen. Personal favs - Outbursts, Never Stops, Apocolips, Mirrors. Bottom line: It's gorgeous, introspective, groovy, I could go on and on - Give it a try and then pass it on
