'Coin-operated medieval country songs through a 1950s Western lens...' it doesn't take much of a musician's bio to attract my attention and draw me in.
This, plus a fabulous photograph of the odd couple who make up Lockhart, Texas oddball couple Tele Novella, and I was pretty much sold before I'd listened to couple of songs of their frankly fruity latest record Poet's Tooth.
I'm a sucker for this kind of American Noir. Almost a montage of found art. Elements of Lynch, Jarmusch, fifties and sixties kitsch. Elvis films, Johnny Cash songs, Breaking Bad and comic stories..
There are some pleasing remings of Mattiel's last record Georgia Gothic here. Supplanted to Texas. The cactus, and the prairie. A weird bedtime story, Tales of the Old West as it never really existed but we all really wished had..
