Description: Thrashing together the sharp swagger of Bowie, the clipped cool of Fad Gadget, the theatrical brood of Scott Walker, all lacquered in synths sleek enough to slice.

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

Death and the Maiden - Civilisation

Vem, deixa a luz entrar em seu ser,
Transforme o passado em aprendizado, sem temer.
Olhe pra frente, há um novo amanhecer,
Deus está fazendo algo que vai te surpreender.

Esqueça as dores, viva a mudança!

Novidades na jornada, tudo recomeçou,

O que o passado levou, agora é um show!

Deus tem planos, algo grandioso a criar,

Nasce em nós a fé, sempre a brilhar!

Riachos brotando em meio à solidão,

Caminhos feitos em cada coração.

O que estava perdido, agora vai renascer,

Celebramos a vida, somos novos em você!

Um futuro brilhante nos aguarda!

Novidades na jornada, tudo recomeçou,

O que passado levou, agora é um show!

Deus tem planos, algo grandioso a criar,

Nasce em nós a fé, sempre a brilhar!

[Outro]
Então abra os olhos, sinta a transformação.

Em Cristo somos novos, é pura inspiração!

Life's New Adventure

Take Me Home

🎸 Genre: Indie Rock × Jangle Pop × Post-Punk
🎚️ ~92 BPM • Key: E Major
🌞 Mood: Desperate Daylight • Groovy Dignity • Melodic Collapse

After slipping through sweaty dancefloors in the Electro and Dub versions, “Can’t Forget Me” is now back — washed, ironed, and dressed in vintage denim for the official Pop version.

This one’s got jangly guitars, melodic ghosts, and the kind of bassline that shows up at 3 AM asking if you’ve “maybe thought about us lately.”

👻 Are you over it? Sure.
🍝 Your pasta says otherwise.
🎥 Just a movie? Nah — I'm the damn soundtrack.

Whether you're chopping onions or your feelings — this version grooves.
Lali lalala... yeah, we know. You're “fine.” 😉

Lyrics:

Steam on the glass, pasta gone cold,
Rush-hour hearts and deadlines unfold.
But when the silence slides in smooth,
You walk back in — like a midnight groove.

Eyes shut tight, but the flash runs deep,
Laugh on repeat, no time for sleep.
We bent with joy, broke into flame,
Now you're back — whispering my name.

Lali lalala… can’t forget me… hahaha.
Still in your rhythm, still in your skin,
I’m the pulse you feel within.
Lali lalala… still not free… nah nah nah.
You spin in clubs, I slip right in —
Like perfume, thought, or original sin.

Neon drinks, new faces, play —
You danced the noise, you moved the day.
But I’m the glitch in your perfect scene,
The backbeat ghost on the silver screen.

Chop your food, pour your wine,
I'm that voice between the lines.
The laugh that kicks behind your smile,
You knew I'd come — I’ve got that style.

Lali lalala… can’t forget me… hahaha.
Still in your rhythm, still in your fire,
I’m the loop that won't expire.
Lali lalala… still not free… nah nah nah.
You dance to forget, but darling — hey,
I’m the beat that makes you stay.

You moved on? Nah — that’s cute.
I'm in the bass drop, in your route.
You hit rewind, I glide right through,
Just a groove... stuck to you.
"Enjoy…" (echo echo)
"Just a movie?" — Nah. I'm the view.

Lali lalala… can’t forget me… hahaha.
Laugh lines fade, but I still bite,
Groove with me — just one more night.
Lali lalala… still not free… nah nah nah.
Not a ghost — just a bassline mind,
And baby, I’m the dancing kind.
