Tele Novella is an inspired macabre-pop band out of Austin, TX. 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.
