It’s great to hear solo work from members of others bands, especially when it’s in a different style from what they usually play. tete was a part of Telepathy and his first full-length definitely presents a different sound.
Eclipse isn’t the first release under the name, 2011 had his EP Romantico. It’s not exactly singer-songwriter type music and fits easily within indie rock, but there is a slight acoustic/alt-country/jazz feel when listening. Guest like 한희정 (Han Heejung) and Fromm, Eclipse adds a welcome parallel vocal style.
The ten songs on the album carry different themes, but occasionally there is a slight older tone to the songs. It presents itself as a mix of older indie/alternative rock, but retains the lighter tone. Sometimes there are even chord progressions that sound perfect for Kpop.
Eclipse is an excellent album. It shows tete’s versatility in his music away from Telepathy and also that he’s not stuck in one genre for music.
*was, Tete WAS a part of telepathy, but not anymore… he’s gone full solo now. so excited to give this a listen, I’m glad to hear that you liked it 😀
He left? When was that? I never heard of anything and just thought he was still part of the band. I’ll need to change the review. Thanks for the info
I think I first read about it at their cyworld club, sometime last summer. Suk took over for the bass and they performed as a three-member for a while after that (like when they were promoting Techno Shoes.. if you watch the MV it’s only the three of them) and then they got a new vocal/guitar, as can be seen in that flying white pillow mv. haven’t released anything except the mv with the new vocal yet, though!
(haha sorry I just really like telepathy :9)
the eclipse album is just simply…amazing, esp blind. I think duet makes his voice more interesting. and Fromm has such a nice voice!
