Review: 'TELEMAN'
'Brilliant Sanity'   

-  Label: 'Moshi Mosh iRecords'
-  Genre: 'Pop' -  Release Date: '8th April 2016'

Our Rating:
This is a continuation of Teleman's laudable quest is for the immaculate pop song with the perfect hook.

Recorded in South London and nimbly produced by Dan Carey, it picks up where Breakfast, the four-piece band's debut, left off.

The best pop songs always contains heavy hints of irony since mostly they consist of men singing of romantic love while alluding to rampant sex or seeking to change the world from the security of a well-appointed recording studio.

Singer and guitarist Tommy Sanders at least seems fully aware of how objectively ridiculous it is for a grown man to be playing catchy tunes for living.

Synthesized beats, played by Tommy's kid brother Jonny, are prominent with the best tracks being front-loaded. The album hits the groubnd running with a run of five cracking upbeat tunes of which the life-enhancing Glory Hallelujah and the title track are the stand outs.

They slow things down for Canvas Shoe and the songs thereafter don't quite have the same fizz.

Despite this extended anti-climax, there's no denying that this is quality feel good pop music with a brain.
