The Telephone Numbers - Leviathan 7”

San Francisco’s music scene has been driven deep underground but is still thriving like crazy, variations on dreamy guitar pop are turning into sold-out tapes and limited vinyl obsessions. Next up is The Telephone Numbers, a band led by SF native Thomas Rubenstein and made up of Inner Richmond neighborhood locals. Rubenstein writes lovely heartfelt songs, equal parts early ‘90s indie pop and ’80s Australian rock, while the band helps supply lush arrangements: 12-string guitars, harmonies, feedback and soaring violin. RIYL The Lemonheads, Teenage Fanclub, The Church.
