Following the success of their deliciously dark and mesmerising debut album ‘Hollowing Out’, Cardiff multi-instrumentalists Red Telephone are back with ‘Delay The New Day’ on July 19th, kicking off a series of singles before they release their sophomore album of the same name in October. Building on their debut record's blend of melodic psych and darkwave, Red Telephone promises to further explore this fusion with the addition of cinematic influences in their upcoming releases. Their first single, ‘Delay The New Day’, delves into themes of indulgence and hedonistic distraction, examining how the allure of nights out and easy comforts can become laborious and repetitive. Driven by the quintet's knack for multi-instrumental intricacies, Red Telephone's latest work evokes comparisons to Arctic Monkeys' newer sound (like Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino or The Car) while staying true to the unique style they established in their critically acclaimed debut. 

‘Delay The New Day’ offers the first glimpse into Red Telephone’s upcoming album of the same name. Recorded semi-live in a short timeframe and featuring their first full-time drummer, this latest project aims for a more cohesive sound, capturing a specific time and place for the individuals and as a group. Primarily written in solitude by members Declan and Kieran on guitar and piano, the album places a strong emphasis on melody and lyricism from the outset. Thematically, it explores the challenges of balancing full-time work with being a musician, and the alienation caused by conflicting advice on how to succeed, straying from their original musical intentions.

Of the process they said “It’s about the paranoia, doubt and dissolution that goes with the territory of pushing yourself and trying to carve out a path where you hopefully get to survive on what you love doing. Even songs on the album that aren’t directly about this still tie into the theme, for example, Delay the New Day, which is about indulgence and hedonistic distraction at the expense of creating.”

Hailing from Cardiff, Red Telephone are a quintet featuring two sets of brothers alongside their first full-time drummer. They began their journey by releasing their first two singles as a double A-side vinyl on the Welsh cult label Popty-Ping, earning praise from Huw Stephens and Steve Lamacq. Their critically acclaimed debut album, ‘Hollowing Out’, garnered media attention from Clash, BBC 6 Music, and Under The Radar, amongst many. 

Now, in 2024, with their second album completed and set to release this October, Red Telephone continue to make waves in the UK alternative scene with their potent blend of psychedelic rock and darkwave, drawing comparisons to indie trailblazers MGMT, St. Vincent, or fellow Welsh band Super Furry Animals. ‘Delay The New Day’ will be available across all major streaming platforms from July 19th, whilst their upcoming sophomore album of the same name is hailed for release this October.

“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

Delay the New Day

Hélas, est je pense, un titre très profond qui sort d'une partie encore peu connue de ma propre âme. Elle représente une perte d'espoir, la mise en évidence d'un échec, ou une sorte de prévention a une potentielle chute. Un regret de ne pas avoir ouvert les yeux plus tôt. 

Cependant, à chacun son interprétation

Hélas

Lyrics:

I miss having the company
I miss having someone to share my life with
I miss the smiles, I miss the laughter
I even miss crying into you
I wish I’d have wanted to share you with my friends
‘Cause you’re the furthest I’ve got in learning to love

I don’t wanna lose you, lose you, lose you yeah
but I’ve already lost you, lost you, lost you yeah
When you’re only here in my head
but you’re in somebody else’s bed
In my head, you’re in her bed

Scraps of paper strewn on the floor
I have to stop and stare
I swear, that there’s your handwriting
but I can’t be so sure anymore
Is it the same as was on my floor?
Are you the same as before?

‘Cause I don’t wanna lose you, lose you, lose you yeah
but I’ve already lost you, lost you, lost you yeah
When you’re only here in my head
but you’re in somebody else’s bed
In my head, you’re in her bed

Maybe one day you’ll get an injunction
Then I’ll have no goddamn choice but to stop writing so many self-indulgent songs about you
And the fact we’re through
I do see it too

But I don’t wanna lose you, lose you, lose you yeah
but I’ve already lost you, lost you, lost you yeah
When you’re only here in my head
but you’re in somebody else’s bed
In my head, you’re in her bed

I need to be done with loving your ghost
I need to be done with loving your ghost
I need to be done with loving your ghost
Aaah

I Need to Be Done

Mise en évidence d'un passage de l'ombre à la lumière. Malgré un début a consonnance plutôt dramatique on peut remarquer une rapide transition vers une envie d'être son propre être et rien d'autre. L'envie de ne chercher qu'a travers soi pour pour se trouver et avancer. La mise en œuvre d'un processus qui saura tous nous rendre plus forts.
