“I kissed the ground before you, I cut my eyes out for you, restless, blinded by my love…oh why do I keep you?” – Telenova

Melbourne three-piece Telenova, one of the brightest musical discoveries in 2021, are thrilled to share their self-assured new single ‘Why Do I Keep You?’ – released via Pointer Recordings‘Why Do I Keep You?’ is a sophisticated slice of modern nostalgia that evokes ‘90s melancholic guitar pop without losing its contemporary lean.

Intensely personal in nature, ‘Why Do I Keep You?’ is about letting go of someone you loved, someone bent on their own destruction – “I kissed the ground before you, I cut my eyes out for you, restless, blinded by my love…oh why do I keep you?” 

The single is accompanied by Telenova’s most realised visuals yet – a stunning eclectic bazaar that sets the trio in their own colourful universe; filled with clever movement, tongue-in-cheek references, and playful verve. Conceived and directed by Angeline Armstrong, the ‘Why Do I Keep You?’ video features choreography from Zoe Marsh (Gretta Ray, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard).
