TELEx TELEXs are the Thai synth-pop band you need in your life
We're predicting big things from this four-piece in 2017.
Formed as a duo back in 2015, TELEx TELEXs added a couple more members when they released their breakthrough single "Labelle," which reached the top of Cat Radio's chart in February of 2016.
"Shibuya" is the band's fifth single and represents a big leap forward in craftmanship, with a huge synth-driven sound that blows their dream-pop contemporaries out of the water.
The single, written by synth player Pew with a little help from Nick from Part Time Musicians, tells the story of a breakup that gets awkward when the guy and girl accidentally bump into each other not long after (a narrative faithfully followed in the neon-tinged video clip, see below). The name? Well, when Pew was writing this song, he had just gotten back from Japan.
