Telenova - Tranquilize (Encore) | Live on Mood on the Roof

Telenova is an otherworldly indie-pop band from Melbourne, building their own surreal universe through music. In this week’s encore episode, Telenova performs a captivating rendition of the track that started it all - “Tranquilize”.
In 2020, the three members of Telenova were pieced together for a collaborative session at APRA AMCOS’ SongHubs workshop, by former Death Cab For Cutie member, Chris Walla. Within a day, they’d written their latest single, “Tranquilize”, and forged an immediate musical connection.
"I was actually flicking through a thesaurus and the word ‘Tranquilize’ jumped out at me, it just rang so nicely on the tongue and was so inherently visceral. I was humming gibberish over the hypnotic Rhodes chords that Josh had laid down, and we heard what sounded like ‘Poseidon’s on the water’."
"It was the first time in a writing session with Ed and Josh, and the first time I’d been in a writing session where a poetic, literary lyric idea like that wasn’t shunned and coined as ‘unrelatable’. It resonated. We followed the thread, playing into Siren mythology as a metaphor for falling in love - the power of attraction to transfix and tranquilize you," says lead singer, Angeline, on the release.
