Tele Novella is an inspired macabre-pop band out of Austin, TX. They are dreamy, they are spooky, and they write real songs. While one may detect the influence of the nocturnal jungles of Os Mutantes or the lapeled, knee-socked smarts of Belle and Sebastian, they have cobbled together a special kind of mineral all their own worth making room on the Table of Elements for. Earnest, yet sinister; Vampy, but sentimental. The precise recipe that goes into this concoction cannot be revealed, but it is a delightful snow globe of warm, colorful darkness.
