If you’re not familiar with the magic of Tele Novella, the AMM would like to introduce you to “Trouble In Paradise” as a gateway drug.
Then, as you soak in the gorgeous Merlynn Belle (2021), making your way to the newest release Poet’s Tooth via Kill Rock Stars, you’ll discover the soundscapes that Lockhart-based duo Natalie Ribbons and Jason Chronis meticulously piece together are so enticing, like haunting faraway nooks of dreamlike pop with a touch of Ennio Morricone-esque western finesse. The sophistication of Tooth’s mystical lyricism, brought to you by Ribbons’ unique vocal style, draws you into a twilight-shaded yearning, wistful almost to the point of heartbreak. Prepare to be bewitched.
Join Tele Novella for their album release show tonight, Saturday Nov. 4, at Sagebrush, 5500 S. Congress Ave. And what an incredible line up, featuring Alex Maas, Van Mary and Redbud. Magical all around. Doors at 8 p.m.
