Tweede nieuwe single en opnieuw knallen de Turpins. Nu ja, 'knallen, Lost on Your Time is een rustig kabbelend nummer drijvend op een drum shuffle door Ethan Johns. Chris en Stephanie Jean (staat ook in voor de mooie piano accenten) splitten de lead vocals waardoor nog maar eens duidelijk wordt wat een fantastische én van elkaar onderscheiden stemmen beide hebben. Het nieuwe album kan niet anders dan héél boeiend worden.
Thunder Above You verschijnt op 25 augustus 2023 via Vow Road Records.

Honing a beautifully warm and effervescent approach to the distinctive indie-folk-rock sound they have become synonymous with in recent years, “Lost On Your Time” marks one of the more lovelorn offerings from their forthcoming full-length. Sprawled across a wonderfully sweet and airy piano-led production, their newest outing cements itself as one of their most tender releases to date.
Adding about the new track, Chris Turpin explains “When I wrote ‘Lost on your Time’ I’d been diving deeper into the folk roots of my childhood. I was rediscovering guitar tunings used by Nick Drake, Richard Thompson and Martin Simpson. I’d ordered a guitar from Roger Fylde; a parlour guitar made partly of a piece of Sinker Redwood - cut from a 200 year old tree pulled from a river bed in Northern California. ‘Lost on your Time’ was the first song written on the guitar. The combination of the century old American wood and ancient British ballad melodies I was learning seemed to gently come together. The symbolism and imagery of those old songs seeped into the lyrics. The song echoes the night drives we’d taken through the mountains in the USA, moving from show to show. Those still moments when it was just me, Stephanie and the road."
Let Ida Mae take you on a joyride across the vast American expanse. Be introduced to all manner of eccentric characters along the way – drunken poets, fallen oligarchs, heartbroken country music stars – and revel in the chaos and carnage of a world on the brink. This is the British folk-rock duo’s spectacular third album, ‘Thunder Above You’.
