Welcoming autumn with Telenovela
While Athens pop band Telenovela's Saffron Songs was released back in the spring, I'm finding it a lovely record to usher in autumn. It's often sparse and wistful, with a number of songs about nature and transition. The minimalist compositions of many songs suit the season as well, a departure from the lushness of summer. Lovely stuff that brings to mind latter-day stalwarts like Nico, the Velvets, or Joni Mitchell mixed with a little Belle & Sebastian.

Ha! That's great.
Happen to know if it's available through an online retailer? I couldn't find one to link to in the post.

I played drums on this record, glad to see that someone likes it. If anyone wants a copy they can probably get it straight from the band at telenovela@gmail.com.
