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

°°°·.°·..·°¯°·._.·  💎  ·._.·°¯°·..·°.·°°°

You're from a house outside the city
Frosted windows bleeding colours from the neighbour's trash pile
Close to the airport but you've never been
Above the clouds it's always sunny
But you're happy where you are

They told me I could be anything
My mind is mixed and jumbled up like a shaken snow globe
All work and anxious never resting
I wanna be a movie star but you just want a walk-in wardrobe

Looking out on the city, where you grew up
It's become too much for you
Out the window the small town, where I grew up
And it's not enough for me

My dinner's waiting in a paper bag
It's too late again, I'm doing stupid shit that doesn't matter
You've got a family, they depend on ya
You buy a week of groceries without thinking and I think that's clever

Looking out on the city, where you grew up
It's become too much for you
Out the window the small town, where I grew up
And it's not enough for me

How do you find a life that's big enough
How do you find a life that's big and
I feel like I'm in the dark
You see light wherever you are

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

So Blue (For You)

Cherish Today

Controlling Time

A sweet as song by the band Death and the Maidens from Dunedin

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!

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

Curse Of Creation

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.

show me how
show me when
you haunt me

show yourself
show us where
you haunt me

i can take
one small break
to please you

i can talk
for the two
of us

one small reason

one small reason to leave you now
one small reason to leave you now

take it to
someone royal
or free

take me to
someone loyal
i dont believe

one small reason to leave you now
one small reason to believe you now
one small reason to come back to

and i cant imagine anything different
not you
and i cant imagine anything different from you
i cant imagine anyone different from you
i cant imagine anyone different but you

one more reason to leave you now
one more reason to leave you now
one more reason to leave you now
one more reason to leave you now
one more reason to leave you now
one more reason to leave you now
one more reason to leave you now
one more reason to leave you now

What's One More Reason To Leave?

if you knew

Sincerely,

It's Just Us
