Turin Brakes - Spacehopper *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 23rd May 2025
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

With seven top 40 singles, six top 40 albums and over a million record sales worldwide,
Turin Brakes return with a brand-new record - Spacehopper out 23rd May via Cooking Vinyl.
Produced by the band alongside Grammy-winning Guy Massey (with credits such as Kylie
Minogue, Ed Sheeran and Spiritualized), Spacehopper is their first new music in over three
years and marks the 10th studio album from Turin Brakes, a big milestone for a band who
released their debut album over 24 years ago - The Mercury Prize nominated The Optimist
LP which catapulted them into the mainstream and achieved Gold status in the UK. They are
a band that understands the art of longevity and Spacehopper promises to be a worthy
edition to a rich and sonically diverse catalogue of albums, finding the South London 4-piece
in a reflective mood...
“We deliberately went back to Konk Studios where we made The Optimist LP, having stayed
away for 25 years,” says Olly Knights. “In some ways to connect to the source but also to be
who we are now in that amazing room. It felt like some deep invisible forces were being
moved around. The new record is totally its own thing; there are little nods to the debut, but
it’s a different beast. It can never be as simple and perfect as the debut, so we didn’t try; we
backed ourselves.”
“We honestly don’t normally get self-reflective but the whole album 10 thing definitely made
us want to play with everything that throws up. The dreams, what worked out, what didn’t,
the regrets, the nice surprises... It just seemed like a good moment to admit we’re in on our
own legacy in a way.”
