We've had a few moments like that on American TV shows, and that was one of the best ones. It was on such a big scene and it was really heavily used. You could see that the filmmakers and the people behind that show really seemed to get it and appreciated that song. We were just that little bit older,” he says, “but I do remember The O.C. really well – it was a big show! Weirdly, it's played a lot now; I've seen it on TV again recently, so I'm always keeping half an ear out for our song. It was so lovely – we still talk about it. Masterton, James (23 February 2003).

Turin Brakes are currently on their UK tour until the end of October, and performed for the first time at Towersey Festival this summer, the UK’s longest-running independent festival. sees Turin Brakes release their ninth studio album, Wide-Eyed Nowhere. The band will play a handful of festivals over the summer, followed by an extensive UK concert tour starting in September. Because festivals and touring went away for a while, what we've noticed is there's more positive feeling from the crowd. Bands appreciate playing at the moment more than they ever did, because it looked like it might never happen again for a while – as absurd as that sounds. So festivals feel really magical and more important than they did before, and long may it last.” Knights, Olly. "If Not Now When". Etch Shop. Archived from the original on 13 November 2012 .

To me, real success is if you can keep doing what you're doing and loving it pretty much 100% of the time. Then you're doing it right.”All I can say is, it's like catching a gentle wave, and then it speeds everything up. You feel this force that's bigger than you, pushing you along for a while. Being in a band is bloody hard work. Most of the time you’re having to get up and drive it yourself, and when something else drives it for a while, it's just lovely. Like surfing a wave, you've got to enjoy that feeling when it's happening.

The band spent the first half of 2006 writing new songs, occasionally performing both new and old work at small gigs across the UK. The band did an intimate tour in November 2006 to try out new material. In January 2007 the band entered a recording studio in London to record their fourth album with producer Ethan Johns. After three weeks the band took a break (on 29 January Paridjanian's wife gave birth to a daughter), but the sessions were resumed several weeks later in a bigger studio (also in London). On the last day of March 2007 the band announced that they had finished the recording sessions, and recorded 17 songs. Friends would visit, kids would add a voice or two, bees would buzz and we'd get to sit in the South London sun while the music poured out of the speakers and floated across the lawn. Sometimes we decided it's okay to just let it happen naturally, not to try too hard - just get out of the way let the songs take shape, and that maybe you don't have to be in a bad place to make the deeper cuts."

Turin Brakes' Rain City was used prominently in a pivotal scene in season one when main character, Ryan Atwood’s mother leaves him to stay with the Cohen family for good. Knights admits he wasn’t exactly the target demographic for The O.C. at the time, but can’t deny the effect it had on the band’s trajectory:

We definitely had a lot of fun over the years by not pinning anything down,” he says, still enjoying the joke. “I'm a big David Lynch fan, and he makes a real point of never fully explaining what things are, and I kind of agree with him. The song’s lyrics have become something of an in-joke over the years, with fans speculating as to the hidden meanings behind the sometimes abstract, sometimes very literal lyrics. Knights isn’t about to spoil the fun after 19 years. Knights says they surprised themselves with what came out: a “sweeter, groovier” set of songs in no hurry to be anything but themselves. Throughout 2012, the band wrote new material and played intimate venues in the United Kingdom. In October 2012, Olly Knights released a solo album If Not Now When on Turin Brakes' own record label, The Complete ATOMIC. [19] In November 2012, the band returned to their studio to record material for their sixth studio album.The album's commercial performance created some tension between the band and their label. In fact, between tours in the United States (their own headline tour and supporting David Gray) in the Summer of 2003, the band recorded a new single for a re-release of Ether Song with Tony Hoffer. The first re-release of Ether Song, featuring an orange version of the cover and single 5 Mile was released on 6 October 2003. 5 Mile charted higher than Average Man (no. 31 [12]) but was largely overlooked by UK radio stations. Overall, the album was re-released four times during its lifespan, [13] and received various bonus discs between regions and versions. The band was on record as being unhappy with the way the record company was treating them and the fans regarding the release. Ryan, Gavin (2011). Australia's Music Charts 1988–2010 (PDFed.).
