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..

Hello mate, fancy seeing you here!


Ray(ban)  said about 5 months ago:

Thought i'd join the fray like. D'ya reckon we should put that Jem Finer thing up here when i get round to it?


Ray(ban)  said about 5 months ago:

The first review...

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.

Good times


Reverb  said about 5 months ago:

They're nice words them.

The Shellac comparison just pushed our coolsie-o-meter up a few notches


Reverb  said about 4 months ago:

So erm, we find out today if we'v got into the final for playing Isle of Wight Festival...

shakes


Reverb  said about 4 months ago:

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.


HEB  said about 4 months ago:

Cock it down a notch mate


Reverb  said about 3 months ago:

Our first proper review!!!

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.


toadphoney  said about 3 months ago:

Where did that appear? Source!


Reverb  said about 3 months ago:

In a local 'Zine the Shout


Reverb  said about 2 months ago:

R.I.P


toadphoney  said about 2 months ago:

What happened? Sack your band because they were holding you back? Were they druggies? Did you want to explore a new musical direction?


Reverb  said about 2 months ago:

Nah, we're all moving to different parts of the world.

damn good fun while it lasted though.


astralwerkor  said about 2 months ago:

Is it just me, or does the vocal melody on one track sound exactly like RHCP? If intentionally so, awesome, it cracked me up.


Reverb  said about 2 months ago:

hahahaha, i never noticed, What RHCP song?


astralwerkor  said about 2 months ago:

I can't remember. But the song of yours is Serial.


ashthetenth  said about 2 months ago:

:(


ashthetenth  said about 2 months ago:

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.


astralwerkor  said about 2 months ago:

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


Reverb  said about 2 months ago:

hahaha, fuck you're right.

cheers astral
