Makers of immaculately-crafted synth pop, Teleman formed out of the ashes of another band, Pete and The Pirates, releasing their debut album, Breakfast, in 2014.
The critics loved their lo-fi sound, with its art pop sensibilities, ethereal vocals and psychedelic, swirling melodies. Tracks like the haunting Cristina and the catchy Steam Train Girl won them an army of fans, and whilst they’re still not exactly bothering the charts, they’ve got a bona fide cult following.
With their last gig in Cambridge proving so popular that (rather uniquely) they made the decision to add a matinee performance at the Portland Arms, we think it’s fair to say that Teleman have a pretty serious following in the city. This month, for the first time, they’re playing Cambridge Junction, and we’re sure they won’t have a problem filling it given the effusive reception to their latest release, Brilliant Sanity.
Catch them doing their thing on 26 October, tickets are £15.
