'Everything Fell Off': The Struggles That Birthed Telenova's New Album, 'The Warning'

Carley Hall, Journalist

Carley Hall

Carley Hall is a Gold Coast-based writer who loves spinning a good yarn. She’s worked in print news rooms for more than a decade and now juggles young family life with a busy career in research communication, promoting all types of science from the dire and necessary to the weird and wonderful.

When she’s not doing all of the above, she’s dancing around her living room trying to brainwash her kids into liking her taste in music or getting out to see some gigs. Carley likes the heavy stuff most, but if it’s got hooky melodies, clever lyrics or off-kilter beats nothing is off limits.

Album Review: The Parson Red Heads - Yearling
There’s much to love about Yearling; it’s mature, poignant country made accessible by a youthful group of folksters, and yet stands tall as simply a well-crafted, thoughtful and multi-dimensional album with divine harmonies and warm, optimistic storytelling.

Album Review: Elton John Vs. PNAU - Good Morning To The Night
Fans of either the knighted diva-dude or the dynamic Sydney dance duo, or both, will find myriad delights.

Album Review: 8 Ball Aitken - Alive In Tamworth
What’s missing is a bit of rawness to make the home listener feel part of the crowd.

Album Review: Sean Rowe - The Salesman And The Shark
Basically, this whole album is a storytelling vehicle courtesy of a distinctly present personality in Rowe, a trait so often buried when the record deal is landed.

Album Review: Van She - Idea Of Happiness
Van She certainly know how to write agreeable melodies for the ears and pump out gratifying beats for the feet.

Album Review: Penny Hewson - It’s An Endless Desire
Lyrically, It’s An Endless Desire is a treasure. Hewson has no fear tackling subjects close to home.

Album Review: Razika - Program 91
These girls have found a winning formula, and hence, don’t stray too wide of it.

Album Review: Delta Spirit - Delta Spirit
On the whole, it’s a quite distinct milestone in their journey towards a unique sound within a genre already crowded by their indie-rock peers.

Album Review: Mia Dyson - The Moment
Overall it’s a refined outing but what’s lacking most is that raw, dangerous, dirty soul at the heart of previous Dyson fare, and in turn the sauntering troubadour sound of old is sadly affected.

Album Review: Angus Stone - Broken Brights
Broken Brights is not just Angus and Julia in solo form with mandolins, harmonicas, piano, dobro thrown in; there’s real sentiment and storytelling breaking through.
