Rounding out a milestone year, Melbourne three-piece Telenova release a brand new film clip for their glistening hit single ‘Bones’, taken from their debut EP Tranquilize, out now via Pointer Recordings. Co-directed by frontwoman Angeline Armstrong and LA-based filmmaker Jill Sachs, the video is a nod to the film references that influence Telenova‘s songwriting and a visual feast of the drama dreamt up in Armstrong‘s lyrics (I was dreamin’ of blue skies in California / While you were loading your gun / Thе time has come Red and bluе lights chase us across the border / Forever out on the run).
Of the video, Armstrong comments “In the midst of the Melbourne lockdowns I got a random email from an AFI Film Grad in LA who’d just heard ‘Bones’ on KCRW radio and was already dreaming up a music vid she wanted to direct for us – it was incredible that from one listen alone, she heard all the film references that influence our songwriting and further inspired the visual elements of the clip – namely David Lynch and French New Wave Cinema… Jill Sachs & I co-directed this remotely, shooting on location in both Los Angeles and Melbourne. A unique logistical & creative challenge that we absolutely relished.”
‘Bones’ was the first-ever single to be released by Telenova – a track that grabbed the immediate attention of triple j, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Soundcloud, community radio & fans alike – and catapulted them to the forefront of Australia’s top artists to watch in 2021. Telenova continued to make waves with their follow-up singles ‘Tranquilize‘ & ‘Blue Valentine’, taken from their debut EP Tranquilize which was released to wide acclaim, captivating audiences across the globe including radio play on KCRW, BBC Radio 1’s Future Artists, being handpicked by Matt Wilkinson for Breaking on his Apple Music 1 show and featuring in Vogue Paris monthly playlists, not to mention major support from triple j and national community radio. Just six months after their debut release, Telenova was invited to take on triple j’s Like A Version where they performed a live rendition of ‘Bones’ & a standout cover of Madonna’s ‘Hung Up’, cementing themselves as one of 2021’s breakout artists of the year.
