“It's the subtlety in the arrangements that makes Roberts' songs work so well. The core of
The Telltales is singer, songwriter and acoustic guitarist Toby Roberts. His tone is so warmly alluring and subtly intimate that Under the Waterline easily makes the perfect after-party comedown companion particularly tracks like Icebergs and Skin and Bones, with their languid aching emotional landscapes”. Michael Smith, Australia
The Telltales these days are Toby Roberts on acoustic guitar and Will Belford on bass. Guest keyboard player Steve Shipley and drummer Neil Rankin understand the art of understatement beautifully. Backing vocals by Amina Lesley.
The Telltales third album Under the Waterline sits comfortably alongside major acts of our time. With two previously critically acclaimed albums The Telltales and Haymaking, the band keeps up their well earned reputation.
