It seems that Turin Brakes are a band you either love or hate. I'm quite definitely in the first category, Ether Song really blew me away. It's so ultimately calming, it allows me to relax on even the toughest, most stressful days. It's really great as travelling music, I recommend listening to it in the car. The combination of exquisite sound and thought-provoking lyrics makes listening to the album a sensuous experience. I really can't rate it high enough, I love it.
