Teleman – ‘Tele’, from the Greek for ‘distance’ – are a band you’re invited to, not inundated with. Their sparse, welcoming minimalist synth tones, gentle motorik beats and balloon-light melodies seeped quietly onto the radio last year and hypnotized the alt-pop nation. Their festival sets of 2013 (including Glastonbury and Latitude) drew an attentive, fascinated […]
The Wave Pictures have enlisted the help of filmmaker Darren Hayman for the video for new single, “Missoula”, released via Moshi Moshi. With five albums for Moshi Moshi, The Wave Pictures have always eschewed the more traditional industry model and made their name via phenomenal live performances and the song writing talents of Dave Tattersall. Their ebullient, […]
Boxed In’s debut single ‘All Your Love Is Gone’ has already won him lots of fans, stacking up an impressive play count and winning praise across the web, radio and press. Now, with the 7” and digital download set for release through Moshi Moshi, Boxed In (AKA London’s Oli Bayston) releases a video, directed by […]
The infamous double album…there are not many other things in the music industry that tend to be so hit and miss. They normally come about after an extra special spark in creativity or are written in tribute to something close to the band. The Wave Pictures 5th long player is a mixture of both. Whilst […]
Generally in the music press, writers love the idea of ‘genre’. The desire to pigeonhole and categorise artists is an instinctive one: it give us the ability to compare and contrast similar artists, which in turn allow us to grade them based on their individual merit. However as we plough ever further into the 21st […]
No, there is no time-machine trickery going on here and we haven’t just skipped twenty years into the future: in their new video for ‘Lisbon’, The Wave Pictures’ rope in their dads to take over performance duties, and they certainly get into the spirit and show their offspring how it’s done. The single is released digitally on 21st […]
Comprising of sunset flavoured fizzy guitars and driven by a restless drumbeat ‘See-Saw Girl’ touches the bands pop-punk roots. Yet although intricately layered ‘See-Saw Girl’ is wholly immersible with it’s call and response vocals and toe-tapping sensibilities. Heralding a statement of intent from Totem, ‘See-Saw Girl’ acts as the perfect introduction to the band, encapsulating their wild, […]
Last year, The Wave Pictures spent 6 weeks driving around America in a small van with Allo Darlin’. The result of this trip is their fifth studio album – the double album ‘City Forgiveness’ released via Moshi Moshi on October 21st.“We visited Hank Williams’ house and Billy The Kid’s grave, watched the Golden Gate bridge […]
A strutting piece of art pop, resplendent with spiky guitars, a soulful croon and soaring falsetto, Be Clear is the latest single from Fiction’s critically acclaimed debut album. Having toured with Everything Everything, Warpaint and Metronomy, headlined their own NME awards show and embarked on their first full UK tour, Fiction released their debut album […]
Amongst a flurry of praise & growing excitement, London trio Teleman release their debut 7” single this week through Moshi Moshi records.
