    The album finds them delivering music that feels fresh and inspired; this is what Turin Brakes do, and Invisible Storm shows they continue to do it quite well.

    Nothing groundbreaking there, you might think, but it is all done with a down to earth approach that is at once appealing.

    A set of instant, insistent--occasionally irritating--tunes. [Mar 2018, p.35]

    Turin Brakes have made an album which is "OK". No dizzying heights or subterranean lows. You may raise an eyebrow every now and again, but nothing about this music grabs your attention and holds it.

    This album has many of the classic Turin Brakes traits, acoustic guitar at the core with Olly's trade mark vocals, but crucially it expandsThis album has many of the classic Turin Brakes traits, acoustic guitar at the core with Olly's trade mark vocals, but crucially it expands the sonic landscape to include new pop beats, classic folk-rock in the vein of Fleetwood Mac and even some Pink Floyd inspired moods that sound epic.
    All through the album there are some delightful moments, from the twisty, handclap driven pop sound of first single 'Wait' to their trademark folk-pop breeze on 'Lost In The Woods'.
    It's on the fifth track 'Deep Sea Diver' that the album returns to the Turin Brakes’ sound we know well.
    The title track 'Invisible Storm', which starts minimally before building towards another of the album’s more epic choruses.
    Better still, though, is the sharp Everything All At Once, which brings back some urgency to the album with some slick guitar, pounding drums and real drive.
    The epic 'Smoke And Mirrors' is a real highlight for this listener, it has an air of the psychedelic about it early on, before blooming into a strings-backed epic that Pink Floyd would be proud of. It just gets better with each listen.
