Telefauna - Their 1st EP
Press Release, Mtl, August, 2005
Freshly hatched, somewhere in the spiral stair forest of Montréal, a feathery mess of colour called Telefauna is hustling something fresh. Since their stage debut at 2004’s Pop Montréal International Music Festival, and after a year of persistent writhing and squealing, they have developed a reputation for their high energy live show, always chock-full of surprises and derrières shaken to their breaking points. Now, with the much anticipated release of their home-recorded debut entitled, “Their First EP,” a new glorious flight path seems inevitable for Telefauna, and the weather looks dandy.
Equipped with an array of erratic vintage synths, toys, a guitar and a drum machine, Telefauna’s jungle cry utilizes rich textures and infectious melodies that refuse to leave your head. Their trademark brand of synth-laden, beat-heavy flutter-pop cannot be pinned down to a particular genus. The opening track, Kettle Song sounds like a broken robo-Ferris wheel held together with fresh bubble gum. Their psych-funk dance riots, Phantom Limb and Turbulence, could be The Flaming Lips co-conspiring with Prince, infused with the phat, slutty styles of Missy and Timbaland. Meanwhile, the post-structuralist battle-cry, Put Your Hands Together for the Offbeat, evokes the synth pop of Devo and New Order-with a distinctly unsullied Telefauna twist. With infectious hooks, barbed with IDM pops and buzzes that grab but don’t tear flesh, tangled with smart, idiosyncratic lyrics and vocal harmonies, Telefauna is indeed a powerfully original musical force.
For people who know and love Telefauna’s songs from their live shows, this freshman release will be the first opportunity to really hear the richness of their pop-scapes. At four songs, “Their first EP” at once seems fleeting in its brevity, and yet foreshadows grand things to come. Ultimately, it is a succinct introduction to an exciting new band. Get it while it’s DIY.

Dear Telefauna,
I can never forgive you for what you have done to heart. It has run from me leaving a glittery trail of blood and joy. It was shaped the way hearts are in cartoons, and not in real life. What happened?
Regards,
Travis (Your fan for nearly a year it seems)
PS, please make more soon (music).
