Spacehopper
Twenty-five years ago, we recorded our debut album at Konk Studios in north London. Our journey since then has been long and deep, taking us across the globe multiple times. Curious about what it would be like to return to Konk, now with all that accumulated experience, we decided to revisit that iconic wooden room once again and embark on a new musical adventure. This time, with producer Guy Massey at the helm, we’re calling our 10th album SPACEHOPPER. We eagerly invite you to join us in this brand new chapter!

What's This About a Lounge at the Edge of Town?
Coming soon, a new collaboration between Phil Ramocon (Talk Talk, Jimmy Cliff) and Turin Brakes called Lounge at the Edge of Town. After working together on the Talk Talk tribute shows and a chance meeting in a club in darkest Soho the guys decided to get together to write and record some songs. A synergistic new partnership was born and fans of both are now the incredibly fortunate recipients of this new collab, nine sonts mixed by Barny Barnicott (Arctic Monkeys, Sam Fender). Lounge at the Edge of Town will be available digitally only via all the usual platforms. Rumor of a possible vinyl release in the future will be based on demand.
