I'm sure you and I are not alike! But that doesn't mean I dislike you! That's what music is all about!

Copy of Indie Chill

Hailing from Cardiff, Red Telephone’s blend of melodic psych and darkwave has drawn comparisons to indie trailblazers MGMT, St. Vincent, and fellow Welsh cult favourites Super Furry Animals. Their second album ‘Delay The New Day’ was released in January 2025, garnering critical acclaim from the likes of Clash, Under The Radar, and God Is In The TV.

Exploring themes of paranoia, doubt, hope, and the trappings of group dynamics, ‘Delay the New Day’ was arranged by the band in solitude in Cornwall and recorded semi-live in under two weeks. Driven by the quintet's knack for multi-instrumental intricacies and drawing on cinematic influences, Red Telephone’s latest work is bold, genre-bending and defiantly optimistic, while staying true to the unique style they established in their 2023 debut.

“Gritty, brilliantly dark and expansive. A deliciously dark, mesmerising and a dystopian-tinged sonic palette that could have been heard in Bowie’s Berlin in the late 1970’s. An impressive and masterful debut.” - Clash Music

“Very nicely layered. Has a bit of early 80s melodrama; a sort of Pet Shop Boys croon and a Krautrock halo.” – Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music

“They have the potential to soundtrack a generation.” – Drowned in Sound

“Something brilliantly dark about this, with their synth psych noir with a pulse. Real potential to go big.” - Chris Hawkins, BBC 6 Music

“With music as smart as their aesthetic, Cardiff’s Red Telephone are making neo-noir sounds that could have made it onto the ‘Drive’ soundtrack.” – Gigwise

So Blue (For You)


I say yes
I do understand 
You deserve it
And I don’t 
Catch those bowls 
That are yours 
And present them
It’s a show 
Don’t you know
Oh come on
You do want it
As I do 
Yes it’s true
It’s true
They are blue
Incredibly blue
For you

And I hope you’re happy
So happy for everything 
Can’t you see
I made it for you 
It’s for you
For you 

I say yes
I do understand 
You deserve it
And I don’t 
It’s an alternative kiss
The way we meet
Every time that I dream
With my open eyes 
Staring In your open eyes
Until you smile it away 
Oh come on
You do want it
As I do 
Yes it’s true
It’s true
They are all blue
Incredibly blue
For you

And I hope you’re happy
So happy for everything 
Can’t you see
I made it for you 
It’s for you
For you 

But you’re never happy 
And I feel blue
So blue
For you

You’re never happy 
And my life is blue
So blue 
Because of you

And in the end I know 
That I 
I feel blue
So blue 
For you
For you

You’re never happy 
And my life is blue
So blue 
Because of you

And in the end I know 
That I 
I’m not happy at all

Lyrics 



I never met you
Don't know who you are
Don't know who let you in here...uhhh
Don't know why I gave you
The time of day I gave you
All I do it hurt you
All I do is play you
I know what it was too
From the beginning 

You are just a pawn to the game
And I win

Ahhhh, should have just left u where I found you but I,

I get so tired of being the good guy

I like this hat better
I put this hat on for you



I promise that im not a crazy person
I just have crazy....Intentions
When i want something I want it
Might take a minute to get it
I look at you as more than a fetish
I promise, I just need you to trust me
I need you to eventually love me

To prove that im not craaaazyyyyy.

Crazy I promise you im not
Im not crazy

Im not normally like this...
But i learned to like it


I'll never let you go now..

Now you're in love, oh wow...oh wow

Crazy scream
Ahhhh, should have just left u where I found you but I,

I get so tired of being  the good guy

I like this hat better
I put this hat on for you

Lyrics

QH:
i don't wanna play around no more
when you're in my city but you still feel far
ooh babygirl take me away
ooh babygirl you made my day
ooh I wanna take you to a magic shop 
hit the mall pick a spot we don't gotta stop
Ooh babygirl it's true
Ooh babygirl we gotta go now

hwi:
I'm not the guy you wanted at the start
But I'm tryna give you all my heart 
Just give me chance that's all I got
It's true
These others guys just don't got a clue
And I know that you know that
Cuz you know where I'm at
It's ok tell me now it's ok 
I wanna spend more time with you 
maybe we could drive together to the beach
Just pretend like you're Sakura and I'm JasontheWeen

ADI: 
We need more many days to see 
what we really got no way baby

DJF: 

QH:
I don't wanna play around no more

ooh babygirl take me away
ooh babygirl you made my day
ooh I wanna take you to a magic shop 
hit the mall pick a spot we don't gotta stop
ooh babygirl it's true
ooh babygirl we gotta go now
ADI: 
we need more many days to see 
what we really got no way baby
you get me high all the time
I wanna take you out tonight
feel your touch just one more time

take me away!

My grace is all you need, for my power is the greatest when you are weak.”
