Teleman

by Steve Plunkett
Teleman

Touring with their third album Family Of Aliens, Teleman are rapidly becoming masters at delivering quirky, glorious, electronic songs. It’s like somewhere down a dark alley its Sparks, meets Franz Ferdinand, meets Kraftwerk and the end result is something very special indeed. At a sold-out Epic Studios, Thomas Sanders (vocals and guitar) produces some wonderfully weird sounds from his guitar, whilst Hiro Amamiya is the back beat to this intoxicating band.

Great harmonies are plentiful in their fourteen song set with an unexpectedly captivating energy and spirit. Song For A Seagull, Dusseldorf and Tangerine are the finest of representatives of this, although sadly there's no sign of 2016's Glory Hallelujah (I guess you can’t have everything so we will let them off the hook for that).

As a band they have so much creative talent flowing through their veins and are also a great visual watch, I am sure that there is much more great music to come from them in the future, such is their progression since the release of their debut album Breakfast (produced by Bernard Butler) back in 2014. Releasing three albums in the past six years, with Brilliant Sanity sandwiched in-between in 2016, it’s already a very impressive haul.
