reminiscent of a less messy swans, teleflorists' ''full'' carries all the sturm-und-dirge one would expect of new york noise. though with a greater focus on melody than is expected in the genre, teleflorists echo notes of the yeah yeah yeahs, shellac, and radiohead while managing to sound nothing like the aforementioned artists. dense, yet minimal. sparse, yet not without a complexity. not to mention a damn fine addition to anyone's collection.
Reading that the Teleflorists were “three good friends who share a mutual disdain for the epic amounts of blandness and unoriginality in music today”, it was evident the listen would be something a long way from mainstream. Various labels float about – ‘Post-Punk’, ‘Garage’, ‘Noise’,‘Post-All’ – but only the ears tell the truth.
Over five tracks, the three Glastonbury lads carve anauditory wasteland of their own, while marching sideby-side with their declared influences, the most obvious of which is Sonic Youth.
‘Our Trismos’ fires things up in filthy style, scratchy guitars painting a hypnotic canvass for the sparse, plaintive vocals to colour.Its minimalist aspirations pave the way for ‘PharmakonWells’, a virtually-one-note affair, that ups the ante,before collapsing under the weight of trashy drums and shrieking axes.‘Eight Lines’ dials up a more Radiohead vibe, with a delicate, falsetto vocal that’s charged down by a detached slide guitar lurking on the finish line.
The latter two numbers,‘(i) Irreverent’ and ‘Serial’ are live cuts, both ambient noise-fests built from openchord Hell, and ringing, spring reverbs.Teleflorists have made clear their agenda, a stoned mesmerism and rusty tonal depth that matters more than the traditional sense of structure or aesthetic appeal. And boy, does it clear the palate.
also, I don't know rhcp very well but i think the song serial sounds like is called 'zephyr'' - it goes ''fly away on a zephyr, we'll find a place togetheeeeer''.
it's also possible that there are five or so other rhcp songs with the exact same vocal melody, at least that's how I feel with every song of there's I've heard on the radio in the last ten years.
Thats the one ash! I just reckon its pretty awesome, with the dirgy guitars and shit, and then this RHCP-esque melody. Like what RHCP could be if they were good. :P
oh yeah, our Full E.P is in the gmail tooo
bump before i sleep
sounds like every other uk band. only much much worse.
oh, and it's not always a good idea to listen to liars and then try and make a band.
you got your period or what miss?
I was thinking that florists have started calling people for orders, that'd be nice, I wouldn't be so keen to hang up on a teleflorist..
name another UK band we sound like?
become a Fan of Teleflorists on Facefuck =]
herrrrr

I tried to listen to youse guys last night but I've exceeded the fuck out of my d/load limit and couldn't load myspazz.
Teleflorists have one friend of facepoo. Poor Teleflorists.

the soundman was a complete cunt. in the worst sense of the word.
pushed my singer around, small man with a big fucking mouth.
it very nearly came to fisticuffs.
i broke a few pedals though. not sure which
Good work, good work. Especially after using it as a baseball bat. O_O
I love the word ''fisticuffs''
Sounds like an interesting evening.

The first review...

Good times
They're nice words them.
The Shellac comparison just pushed our coolsie-o-meter up a few notches
So erm, we find out today if we'v got into the final for playing Isle of Wight Festival...
shakes
yeah, we didn't win, some indie-pop band did. meh.
we also got an email from a local venue asking us to stop requesting gigs as we are too noisy
i feel deified.
Cock it down a notch mate
Our first proper review!!!

Where did that appear? Source!
In a local 'Zine the Shout
R.I.P
What happened? Sack your band because they were holding you back? Were they druggies? Did you want to explore a new musical direction?
Nah, we're all moving to different parts of the world.
damn good fun while it lasted though.
Is it just me, or does the vocal melody on one track sound exactly like RHCP? If intentionally so, awesome, it cracked me up.
hahahaha, i never noticed, What RHCP song?
I can't remember. But the song of yours is Serial.
:(
also, I don't know rhcp very well but i think the song serial sounds like is called 'zephyr'' - it goes ''fly away on a zephyr, we'll find a place togetheeeeer''.

hahaha, fuck you're right.
