Turin Brakes - The Optimist LP (2001)

From London, this singer-songwriter duo released The Optimist LP in 2001 which spent at least eight straight months in my disc changer in my car in '02.

With a sound and lyrics that reminded me of Hayden's early LPs, I found myself blasting songs like "Underdog (save me)" and "Emergency 72" over-and-over.
