In Episode 225 of the XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar is joined by Olly Knights, frontman of the acclaimed South London band Turin Brakes.

With seven UK Top 40 singles, six Top 40 albums, and over a million records sold worldwide, Turin Brakes have built a lasting legacy rooted in emotional songwriting, rich harmonies, and fearless sonic exploration.

The creative process behind Spacehopper and the inspiration behind its songs

Collaborating with Grammy-winning producer Guy Massey (Ed Sheeran, Kylie Minogue, Spiritualized)

Returning to the iconic Konk Studios, where they recorded their 2001 Mercury Prize-nominated debut The Optimist LP

The meaning of longevity, artistic evolution, and creative freedom after 24 years in the music industry

Olly also shares insights on touring plans, the emotional themes explored in Spacehopper, and what keeps Turin Brakes inspired and relevant after two decades of making music.
