Over Teleman

Teleman release their fourth album 'Good Time/Hard Time' on 7th April 2023 via Moshi Moshi Records. The first taste of the new album ‘Short Life’ offers its own wake-up call to live every moment before it’s gone forever (“Look out the window, there’s Jesus standing there, take a picture, share it online, what’s on the TV? It's a short life.”) Sanders explains; “This song is an affirmation that life is priceless and precious even though things can seem heavy." A tree may lose its leaves but will continue to grow. For Teleman, the band’s fourth album Good Time / Hard Time is their first as a trio and sees them evolve as a force of nature as they navigate new beginnings despite a wealth of experience behind them. With classic Teleman style, Good Time / Hard Time is their most dancefloor-friendly record to date. Following the departure of the band’s long-time keyboard player Jonny Sanders to focus on his film and design work, Peter Cattermoul now leads on keyboard duties and Hiro Amamiya slides seamlessly between drum machine, live drums and even the odd keyboard solo as it captures the bounce of choice cuts from their own DJ sets such as Metronomy or the classic disco of Boney M, Giorgio Moroder, early house music and 80s vibes - all the while doused in their trademark blend of uplifting melancholy. Growing together, nurturing partnerships, and leaning on each other, for Teleman, mutual respect is something which has grown stronger with each passing year.
