DiS Does Sharpe Festival I love the whole album, front to back! The second full-length album on gm black 12" vinyl with a double-sided lyric inner sleeve. You have to wonder what the fuck Davdison was even thinking if he could doubt his abilities as a writer and then come up with something like this. I generally had to stay indoors with Pete and stare at his computer until my brain began to dissolve.

Or browse results titled:. Tell It To Thebes It stuck with me and I made sure to keep an eye on them until their first album came out about a year later.
Everyone, it seems, has already seen them. Expanded to a full band, it's a gorgeously restrained and bittersweet number about Freudian interpretations of love and pain and having a crush on your dentist. But you never meet anyone who raves about their latest single and yearns to see them play live.
Stephen H Davidson has actually been to New York now.
It's one of the most punishing and intense songs on the album, unlike 'Edith Wharton', an absolute belter of a catchy pop hit that you telluson sing along to even if you've never heard trllison before. I remember an aborted BBQ, a wild dog and a lot of door slamming. But they do it without ever writing a ludicrously catchy pop song, without ever writing a snotty punk anthem, and all the while being far too reserved to be caricatured as full-blown whining emo kids.
The Wages Of Fear by Tellison. DiS Picks Its Best Rest And Be Thankful by Stapleton. We spent the next few weeks recording three different drum kits in different rooms, countless combinations of guitars and basses through myriad amplifiers and pedals and committing take after take of vocals to record. Bandcamp Album of the Day Aug 16, Hope Fading Nightly by Tellison.
I saw the film on my first trip to New York in the summer of I think it works well as a warning too, it reminds us hopefully not to let so much time go before the next record. Other highlights include finally having a recorded version of 'Tell It To Thebes', the epic slow burner they've been taunting crowds with at shows for ages now.
The Wages Of Fear bursts at the seams with energy.

All of which makes it far too easy to listen The Wages Of Fear and enjoy it subject to a previously established fondness for the likes of Taking Back Sunday and Hundred Reasons without really noting any stand out tracks. The wafes full-length album on CD with a 12 page lyric book. Know Thy Foe Tellison have always been a band close to my heart, and with the songs on The Wages Of Fearit's actually getting a little dangerous how near they are to piercing it.
It's hard to judge, because at times they may as well be by different bands.

Omni tellispn traffic in twisty, boppy, minimalist post-punk, but they sound truly expansive on their debut LP for Sub Pop. Ben, the singer from Encyclopedia, used to play keys with us live. Swedish purveyors of alien synergy.
It used to belong to the man who owned Glenmorangie Whiskey. I think the title works as a hook from which you can hang all sorts of elements: Og listen to a Tellison song is to know both everything and nothing about the person singing it, and either have a bloody good time singing along with them, regardless of what it all means, or sit and puzzle everything out and deal with the consequences that brings.
