Galway’s rising alternative stars, Telebox, have set the music world abuzz with their electrifying new EP, When Night Turns Into Day. From the very first note of the blazing singles ‘House on Fire’ and ‘Pilot’, the band ensnares listeners in a whirlwind of vivid storytelling and mesmerizing guitar-led soundscapes. Crafted with finesse by the legendary Michael O’Dowd at Lakeland Studios, this EP is a sonic masterpiece that captures the band’s explosive growth and boundless creativity. The production is nothing short of spectacular, enveloping you in a rich tapestry of psychedelic and atmospheric shoegaze vibes, interwoven with indie rock’s raw energy. The lead vocals soar with passion and intensity, delivering heart-wrenching lyrics that swing between introspective melancholy and fierce, distortion-laden crescendos.
Inspired by an interrailing adventure across Europe, the EP is a kaleidoscope of emotions—capturing fleeting, unnoticed moments and transforming them into unforgettable musical memories. The closing line of the title track perfectly encapsulates those surreal transitions from late night to early morning, reminding us to cherish the world’s quiet wonders. The EP’s creation also coincides with a period of significant change for the Telebox band members, who have ventured into new chapters of their lives. This transformative experience is palpable in every track, infusing the music with a potent mix of nostalgia, frustration, and unbridled joy. Each song is a snapshot of raw, unfiltered emotion, making the listening experience deeply personal and profoundly moving.
As Telebox collectively share: “When Night Turns Into Day explores a vast plain of emotions felt by the band during their interrailing trip across Europe. It snapshots a series of little moments that would usually go unnoticed. ‘When Night Turns Into Day’ , the final line of the EP, is a line reminiscent of those late nights turned mornings that make us appreciate the world around us. The time frame during which the songs on the EP were written was at a point of big change for the band as members moved out and started college. The EP involves senses of frustration, joy and nostalgia which can reflect the adjustment to new surroundings.”
Listening to the EP, it’s clear why Telebox are deserving of a meteoric rise, with a loyal fanbase spanning the UK and Ireland. Their tracks are fixtures on essential playlists and receive frequent airplay on major stations, solidifying their place as indie music’s next big thing.
