Tele Novella – Poet's Tooth (Amphibian Green LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Austin's Tele Novella has always occupied a corner of American music that resists easy categorization, drawing on folk, country, and art-pop without fully belonging to any of them. *Poet's Tooth* arrives on Kill Rock Stars, a label with deep roots in independent music that has never shied away from artists who color outside the lines, and it feels like a natural home for a duo this willfully original.
As Tele Novella, Chronis (who performs in the beloved and rekindled indie pop band Voxtrot) and Ribbons (who previously performed in the long-running "Victorian punk" project Agent Ribbons) have spent their past two albums creating "Medieval outsider country" on 2016's House Of Souls and 2021's Merlynn Belle. Poet's Tooth - the band's second album for Kill Rock Stars - steers the duo's whimsical western-tinted quality into fascinating new directions: cinematic-pop balladry on the autoharp-tinged opener "Young & Free," gently clip-clopping Americana-folk on "Hard-Hearted Way," and bass-driven funk on the wry "Eggs In One Basket." With help from producer Danny Reisch, Tele Novella have crafted their most genre-rich, poetic, and sincere album yet.
