As Tele Novella, Chronis (who performs in the beloved and rekindled indie pop band Voxtrot) and Ribbons (who previously performed in the long-running Victorian punk project Agent Ribbons) have spent their past two albums creating “Medieval outsider country” on 2016s House Of Souls and 2021s Merlynn Belle. Poets Tooth the bands second album for Kill Rock Stars steers the duos whimsical western-tinted quality into fascinating new directions: cinematic-pop balladry on the autoharp-tinged opener Young & Free, gently clip-clopping Americana-folk on Hard-Hearted Way, and bass-driven funk on the wry Eggs In One Basket. With help from producer Danny Reisch, Tele Novella have crafted their most genre-rich, poetic, and sincere album yet.
