Product Description ''Tele'', from the Greek ''distance'' - are a band you're invited to, not inundated with. Their sparse, welcoming minimalist synth tones, gentle motorik beats and balloon-light melodies seeped quietly onto the radio last year and hypnotized the alt-pop nation. With three stunning singles under their belt, London's Teleman release their debut album ''Breakfast.'' Produced by Bernard Butler, ''Breakfast'' is released through Moshi Moshi Records. From the pared-back ''Cristina,'' to the modernist opposition of ''Steam Train Girl''and new track ''Lady Low,'' variety abounds on ''Breakfast.'' Elsewhere is the sweeping psych pop of ''23 Floors Up'' - a song of high-rise hotel passions and paranoia - and the startling ''Mainline,'' a warped, electro-fied chain-gang blues full of visions of burning seas, secret gangs and luminous lovers. Review Teleman's debut album is nothing short of electric.
