We’re back with our latest cover! Sammy Bananas produced a some festival disco as we telephoned the Ryan Leslie hook from Red Cafe’s “Fly Together”.
Jazz standards have been and will continue to be telephoned by many an artist. Here’s to one of the best to do it. Thank you for your soul, Etta James. RIP

“Fake” Fleet foxes are definitely on their #Telephoned game! This guy does cover songs in the style of Fleet Foxes. Check out more on their Tumblr

“A Groovy Kind of Love” — A pop ballad based on a screwed version of a Clementi Sonata covered multiple times over the years is one of the best examples of the Telephoned game.

We love cover songs, so its natural that we love the holiday season. This year we’re overjoyed to give you the gift of our holiday EP, “A Very Telephoned Christmas”, which presents 3 xmas favs in a covered-up telephoned stylee. We’re excited about doing something different with the classics, but also looking forward to finally having some music our Mom’s will like. Happy Holidays to all, and if you’re in New York, make sure to come to our Holiday Special Switchboard next tuesday!

Good Call
Good Call is here! This mixtape is the third installment in our game-changing, telephone-pun-naming, and altogether great-listening series of explorations through cover music. Be prepared for everything you’ve come to love about Telephoned tapes, but some new tricks thrown in as well! Again, props to the amazing Ariana Lindenfelser for the amazing cover artwork! (read more about that here).
We’ve been hard at work on lots of our own, non-cover, original Telephoned songs (a la “Hold Me”), but couldn’t deny the fans with their requests for another mix. Hey, maybe even some of our original song ideas will make an appearance…
On Good Call, we chose a decidedly late summer/early fall feel, to ensure it suitable for heavy rotation over the next months. But stop reading and listen already. Full tracklisting below the jump.
