Telula - 3 3 3
Sweet, funky, get-out-your-damn-seat modern-retro sound that you will not be able to put down. This album is defined by its absolutely groovy bass lines, guitars, and crisp percussion. Feel This Way and Let Me In lure you in with a laid back groove and dreamy vocal delivery before the project's title track hits you with a pure funk punch in the face. The sugary guitar solo in Reflection and a modulated harmonica breakdown in WILD WILL bring mid-album high points in their perfectly timed sonic release. Here I Am, a glimmering dance track, and Me and You, a sweet samba tune, hint at some darker, heavier production that bring a moody dissonance to the easy-going vibes of their respective styles. Mercury dives deeper into this dark style with an uptempo groove and menacing synths that will have you speeding like a getaway driver even before Telula hits you with another wicked guitar breakdown. This 34-minute album will have you moving in a funk-induced dream state.
