Comments: From the promoter: "Teleman – 'Tele', from the Greek word for 'distance' – are a band you're invited to, not inundated with. Their debut album, Breakfast, features welcoming minimalist synth tones, gentle motoric beats and balloon-light melodies seeped quietly onto the radio last year and hypnotized the alt-pop nation... From the pared-back 'Cristina', to the modernist proposition of 'Steam Train Girl'... and new track 'Lady Low', variety abounds on Breakfast. Elsewhere is the sweeping psych pop of '23 Floors Up' – a song of high-rise hotel passions and paranoia – and the startling 'Mainline', a warped, electro-fied chain-gang blues full of visions of burning seas, secret gangs and luminous lovers."
