Turin Brakes - '5 Mile' (Source)

3/5

Turin Brakes

The quiet, efficient rise of Balham duo Turin Brakes to the highest parts of the UK rock echelons really is something to be cheerful about.

Via tracks such as this one; breezy, acousto-pop with damn fine choruses, mainly; the 'Brakes have found themselves equally at home on the stereos of discerning indie-kids as on middle-aged Radio 2 listener's wirelesses. Understated quality.
