Olly Knights (Turin Brakes) - Master Rights


We are extremely pleased to announce that Tru Thoughts/Full Thought Publishing will be representing the master rights for Olly Knight's new solo material. Famous for being one half of the indie pioneers Turin Brakes, Olly has just released his first solo effort called 'If Not Now When?'.

Here's some words from the man himself:
"I started thinking back to my early days of multitrack recording as a teenager, the utter joy of building up sonic worlds on a cassette four track machine, with all the sounds of my domestic existence caught up in them, the airplanes, the lawn mowers, the buzz of the fridge and the kids coming home from school outside, breaking through into songs, barely audible but there.

I re-listened to a lot of vinyl LP’s, Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake & Elliot Smith to name a few, all the records that seemed to have that special rare and original atmosphere that stands out against the polished din, at least to me."

You can preview some tracks and purchase the album (DL/LP) over at the Olly Knights Etch Shop. You can follow Olly Knights on twitter too @OllyKnights.
