'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: Bloods - Feelings

'Napping' Really Is The Key To Regurgitator's Success
"Hiatus is too serious, and it's a bit of a technical term and we're not a technical band. So yeah, I think we were just taking a bit of a snooze."

Album Review: Body/Head - The Switch
"An adrift ship traversing vast, barren seas bereft of rhythm or motif to anchor it."
Reviews / Album
Album Review: Milwaukee Banks - No Time
"Milwaukee Banks deftly restrain the energy behind their clipped beats and motifs to gently unravel an album that really gets under the skin."
