NEW Telefuzz Interview on Slackline Radio
.................
T E L E F U Z Z has been busy as of late, first with finishing 'The Financiers of Samsarsa', the follow-up album to 2002's 'Sleep,' and providing the track 'Tasp' for Pete Lawrence's 'Take Me Home' compilation; and second with Telefuzz Live that successfully made its debut as a 3 piece band at The Big Chill 2006.
Over a year in the making, the live project is the first with a full band for Upstairs Recordings. Drummer Paul Milelli, and bassist Paul McNeil - Verbrilli's long-time friend and collaborator - provide a warm rhythmic current for the Don's electronics and guitars to float upon.
Fans of the Upstairs sound can expect the deep psychedelic dubbyness that Verbrilli is known for, but should be prepared to be taken in a variety of new sonic directions.
Releases:
Telefuzz and Verbrilli Sound tallied 8 tracks on Upstairs Recordings 1999 compilation 'Deepdown Tempos Volume 1', which won compilation of the month honours with Muzik Magazine: 'If you've ever been a fan of Air, Deep Dish, Nuphonic, Spiritual Life, Fila Brazillia, Lee Perry...well, the list goes on. These boys' record collection must be as wild as their names... there's only so many times I can say buy this. BUY THIS.' The track 'Cansada' was quickly licensed for Om Records Om Lounge 3' compilation, appearing with songs by Fila Brazillia and Boozoo Bajou. 'Cansada' was also chosen to kick off Pagan Records 'Cam Del Mar' Mix CD. Muzik magazine described 'Cansada' as a
'Detroit-tinged gem thats a worthy contemporary of anything by Tosca or Thievery Corporation.' In 2000 The Verbrilli Sound released the richly textured 'Many Coloured Butterflies' album on Seattles Sweet Mother Recordings. It received excellent reviews from XLR8R and Mixer magazine, and tracks from the album found their way into the dj sets of Roni Size and DJ Krush, amongst others. 'Views' was licensed for the Wallpaper Mach 1.5 compilation alongside Thievery Corporation, Air, and Jazzanova. In 2001 Telefuzz and the Verbrilli Sound again rounded out the Upstairs 'Deepdown Tempos 2' compilation with 7 tracks. Telefuzz's 'Shampoo Idols' was hailed as a 'minor masterpiece', and Jockey Slut called 'Millionaire' and 'Sideshot Jazzwalk' highlights of an album which offered 'well written, properly produced songs that have feeling, soul,
atmosphere, rhythm, and an ability to take you somewhere nice and deep.'
Later in 2001 Telefuzz bookended Om Records 'Environments' CD with the standout tracks 'Isolationists' and 'Spineless.' In 2002 Telefuzz released its first solo album, the highly acclaimed: 'Sleep'.
August 2006 brings a new chapter with the release of the long awaited Telefuzz album: The Financiers of Samasara.
