If the pandemic’s taught us nothing else, it’s that a lot can happen in three years. That’s how long Meeanjin/Brisbane-based artist Tyler Jones spent locked outside Australia. With pandemic borders in place and strict measures in his homeland of Mexico, Tyler set off with nothing but a beaten laptop, a cheap microphone, and his guitar. The songs he wrote and recorded while travelling where he could became his new bilingual solo project TANGELO. If you love grungy, angsty ‘90s indie rock, TANGELO’s new single “You still live in Turin” will be right up your alley.
“You still live in Turin” comes from TANGELO’s forthcoming EP Postales, named after the Spanish word for postcards. Every song was written in a different country and acts as a bit of a postcard back to TANGELO’s adopted home in Australia. “You still live in Turin” was written on an acoustic guitar in an ex-girlfriend’s house in Turin, Italy, recorded in Leon, Mexico, and released from Meeanjin/Brisbane. Talk about a global sound. I don’t know about you, but I’m keen to hear more.
