Alpaca Presents Red Telephone, Elegant Weather & The Lily Petals
Hailing from Cardiff, Red Telephone’s richly layered alt-rock could
have emanated from a club in Blade Runner's dystopian LA -
combining angular guitars, Krautrock-inspired rhythms and New
Wave-tinged synths with infectious pop sensibilities. Drawing on post punk and synth pop influences, the band has been catching the attention of DJs across BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 1, Absolute Radio and Radio X; with comparisons to the likes of MGMT, Super Furry Animals, Mitski and Berlin-era Bowie being drawn. The band have recently appeared at BBC 6 Music Fringe Festival, Focus Wales, Swn Festival, Other Voices and Llangollen Fringe, supporting
Warmduscher. With previous single releases on Welsh-based labels
Libertino Records and the Popty-Ping Recording Company, the band's highly anticipated debut album is set to be released on 31st March 2023.
Elegant Weather is a four piece group based in Bristol, UK.
Their work takes an approach to songwriting inspired by traditions of roots rock, and infuses it with influences from a variety of contemporary styles, with a more modern take on production. Relying on live interaction between guitar, piano, bass and drums, the band employs live improvisation as their main
writing tool.
