Telechild

TeleChild is a dubai-based duo made up of two long-time friends who are usually at odds about everything except music. Hadi Baba and Charles Anouzi both hail from Lebanon and have collaborated on music composition since their university days. A few years later, they reunited in Dubai and invested their free time on writing an album that just made sense to them. After struggling for sometime to find dedicated musicians to commit to original work, they enlisted Nour Nimri on vocals, Akram Hajj (from Kinematic) on drums, Marwan Tohme (from Postcards) on bass, and recorded their debut album at Tunefork Studios in Lebanon with studio engineer Fadi Tabbal at the helm. Mastering was done by Alex Gordon at Abbey Roads Studios in the UK.

TeleChild’s music puts melodies at its core…sometimes a bit too much but they can’t help it, oh and there’s plenty of guitar riffs and licks in the mix. With a 2022 release, their album feels like a revival of retro alternative rock fused with modern synth and audio effects. The songs explore a variety of themes one can relate to, all the while maintaining a sense of cynicism that might get a chuckle out of the listener.
