History

Formation, EP and first album

They met in Kingston, Hampshire, and Brixton after their initial meeting at school in the early 2000s. Their first release was a split EP with Northampton band Seven Years, called Tellison and Sevenyears. They went on to release a self-titled three-track EP in September 2006.[1] The first album, Contact! Contact!, was released on 16 November 2007, after being recorded with two different producers, over a period of six months.[2] The album was very well received with praise coming in particular from Rock Sound,[citation needed] Rockfeedback[3] and Alternative Ulster.[citation needed]

Second album

In May 2010, Tellison began work on a second studio album, The Wages of Fear, with producer Peter Miles in the Scottish Borders. The first single from the album, "Collarbone", was released as a 7" on 22 November 2010 with B-side, "Mountain Mode". Fans who pre-ordered the 7" were given a free digital EP download, including another B-side, "Experience", the 2XL remix of "Edith Wharton" (a track from the upcoming album) and the Rolo Tomassi remix of "Collarbone".

The Wages of Fear was released on 13 June to critical acclaim.[4][5][6][7]

Hope Fading Nightly

In 2015 the band announced that they had signed to Alcopop! Records. In July of that year Tellison revealed that their new album would be titled Hope Fading Nightly and would be released on 18 September through Alcopop! Records.[8]
