Telenova

A tapestry of dark romanticism, slick musicianship and vivid aesthetics have fuelled Melbourne outfit Telenova since their debut EP Tranquilize in 2021. Powered by the ubiquitous lead single Bones, plus the sweeping sonics of follow-up EP Stained Glass Love, the band have quickly cultivated a passionate following home and abroad. Debut album Time Is A Flower, was released in 2024 to wide acclaim, debuting at #2 on ARIA Australian Album charts. The glittering record showcased the trio’s distinct brand of sleek, cinematic alt-pop, exploring themes of faith, hope, pain and beauty in the details of everyday life. With multiple national tours and major festival appearances across Australia and Europe, including sold out shows in London, Berlin and Athens, plus supports for girl in red, St Vincent and RUEL, the trio has become a revered live act. Accolades have followed the group since their inception, including the 2022 AIR Breakthrough Artist award, multiple music video awards and an appearance on the Triple J Hottest 100. The distinctive universe of Telenova - shadowy, sample driven songs with prominent trip-hop and electronica influence, plus a touch of playful energy - is the design of lead vocalist, songwriter and filmmaker Filipino-Australian Angeline Armstrong and multi-instrumentalists Edward Quinn and Joshua Moriarty. ➿ CINEMA FOR YOUR EARS ➿
