The Telephones on Roads and Trees

Jesse Adelman (guitar + vocals) and Bradley Albert (keyboards) of The Telephones met at Brown University, honing their musical chops in a shared basement before moving to Brooklyn, NY in 2001.

In 2002, the duo released their first EP, entitled "Music for Babies", following up in 2005 with the full-length "Fight Night at Rodeo Dodo". Bassist Anton Kreisl joined as a full-time member in 2007.

Taking control of their own production for the first time, the band produced and recorded "Volume 1" (2009) - the first release in a planned series of self-produced and recorded EPs - in their own studio space. The Telephones are currently working on "Volume 2", slated for release in early 2011.

Together, their influences range from Bob Dylan to The Pixies; Muddy Waters to Pavement; Big Star to T. Rex; Tom Waits to Guns and Roses.
