About this event
TELEPHONE HOUSE | Formed in the middle of the Coronavirus Pandemic, with songs composed mostly on phones, Telephone House is founded by Daniel Bowman & Tarun Krishnan. They reflect on the introspective and lonely nature of our uncertain era. They have a penchant for sweeping strings and brass that seamlessly trade off with vocals, blending elements of Classical, Jazz, and Folk with hooky pop sensibilities.

Telephone House's full roster includes Tarun Krishnan (Vocals, Guitar), Daniel Bowman (Vocals, Guitar, Accordion, Trumpet), Daniel's fellow Fox & the Bird members Mimo Morreale (Bass), Bill Richmond (Violin), Sister's Aaron Stanfield (Drums), Ben Folds Laundry's Ben Fisher (Keys), and schoolteacher extraordinaire J Norris (Guitar).

ABOUT THE NEW ALBUM: Pendulum contains three stories each with a different take on how we all deal with the balance between wanting love and actually discovering it. Drifting from delusion to clear-eyed reflection to an encounter with the divine, these songs are both deeply autobiographical and still revel in opaque metaphor.
