A band capable of combining indie and dance sounds with plenty of idiosyncratic charm, Teleman make music that is as thoughtful as it is playful. Growing out of 2000s London indie rockers Pete & the Pirates, the band traded the former group's brash style for a more nuanced approach. On 2014's debut album Breakfast, their wandering pop reflected their newfound freedom; on 2016's Brilliant Sanity, they united tightly wound rock and electronic experiments with a surplus of hooks. As the 2010s became the 2020s, Teleman's love of dance music grew increasingly important to their style, and 2018's Family of Aliens and 2023's Good Time/Hard Time paired electronic sounds with warm, witty songwriting.
