Last Night

Combining a passion for melodic psych and darkwave, Red Telephone’s 2023 debut album ‘Hollowing Out’ was described by Clash Music as “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.” 

Hailing from Cardiff, the multi-instrumentalists with two sets of brothers in their ranks released their first two singles as a double A-side vinyl on Welsh cult label Popty-Ping and have been championed by Huw Stephens & Steve Lamacq. The five-piece recently finished recording their second album, which is due for release in October 2024.

“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

Is music just nostalgia? I’ve seen Depeche Mode (and others) over 20 times and it never gets old. But . . . it also never gets new or relevant to me - where I am NOW. I believe music is missing a vibe and intimacy of when music was new (to me) but with themes targeted at someone that’s seen Depeche Mode over 20 times. 

This is Adult Alternative Anthemic Rock - Big Songs with Big Themes. 

A blend of synth and guitar with an updated nostalgic edge  

The anthemic spirit of the Killers
The sonic textures of Depeche Mode
The timeless themes of U2
The production value of Duran Duran

Music powerful enough to reset the nostalgic clock

What's Next is the quintessential jumping off point for my Second Act.  My hope is that you recognize when and how to take that leap.  I'm in mid-air right now.

GOING PUBLIC - 3/31/25

Core influences: Depeche Mode, Muse, The Killers, The National, Bleachers, Editors, White Lies, and U2.
