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

Walk in Grace, that is walking in the Spirit to overcome the dominion of Sin(sinful nature), so you can be free from the devil chains, ONLY JESUS CAN FREE YOU
*Faith-----------------------------in the finished work of Christ ( was fully man, is fully God ) (in Jesus Work) 
*Repentance -----------------turn from SIN and renew you mind daily with the truth 
*Born from above--------- you must be born of God's spirit to ever see eternal life. In this new life
*Holiness/obedience----fruit of the spirit holiness/obedience which is Jesus Righteousness 
​*Enduring in the faith----you MUST keep clinging to Christ via this saving faith to the end of your life, lest you fall away and have believed in vain. ( Matt 10 and 1 Corinthians 15 ) 

When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. (Rom 6:20-22)

Spirit Man – A Powerful Gospel Anthem of Faith, Hope, and Strength

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

Chorus
