Telekaster
The Silent Anagram

A Norman Records recommendation (3rd July 2009)

This record left our Brett feeling happy.

The heat, the motherfucking heat.. It's like a giant sweaty crotch covered with indie posters from the 90s in here. The Silent Anagram is the first review thing my dehydrated brain has to come to terms with this week - it's by Telekaster and released on the fine Panic Arrest label (holders of two previous Album of the Week Gold Plated Statuettes from their nascent catalogue). Immediately (and probably lazily) this record strikes me as kind of a middle ground between the minimal Minus Pilots album and the more varied, layered sound of the Cut Iowa Network LP (minus the drums), it definitely fits right in with the feel of the label thus far so if you enjoyed those previous releases you'll be in safe hands here. To add a little more comparative colour I'll add that there are shades of Constellation-style post-rock, early Colleen, the twinklier moments of bands like Fridge and many an organic-sounding bedroom ambient electronica project from the past few years. All done to a super classy standard!

What their label says...

The Silent Anagram is a beautifully architected record that clicks and whirs into life building intelligently on itself into a vast and expansive work fizzing with ambience.
There is a constant interplay of sound and a clever juxtaposition of more caustic eclectic noise with crystalline moments of pinpoint melody.
Emotionally intense, the landscape of the music and their structures draw on your memory brushing the innocence of childhood with the gravity of adulthood.
It's a delicate mix of broken piano chords and effervescent guitars that combine to create achingly beautiful crushing warmth.
Quite simply it has a ghostly melodic grandeur that involves you in every second and leaves you wanting to press play again and again; a classic record.
