about the telephones
Jesse Adelman (guitar + vocals) and Bradley Albert (keyboards) of The Telephones met at Brown University, writing songs in a shared basement before moving to Brooklyn, NY in 2001.
In 2002, the duo released their first EP, entitled "Music for Babies", following up in 2005 with the full-length "Fight Night at Rodeo Dodo". Bassist Anton Kreisl joined as a full-time member in 2007.
Taking control of their own production for the first time, the band produced and recorded "Volume 1" (2009) in their own studio space. The Telephones are currently mixing "Volume 2," slated for release in early 2012.
Together, their influences range from Bob Dylan to The Pixies; Muddy Waters to Pavement; Big Star to T. Rex; Tom Waits to Guns and Roses.
