THESE SYNTHETIC TIMES
THESE SYNTHETIC TIMES

Florida-born songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Matt Kamm writes and performs as Tele & The Ghost of Our Lord, crafting off-kilter Americana populated by roadside characters, forgotten dreamers, local legends, and beautifully flawed narrators. Drawing from country, folk, psychedelia, garage and the stranger corners of American music, Tele's songs blur the line between regional mythology and everyday swamp-life.
His debut full-length album, The Jukebox Has Gone Sentient, earned praise from SPIN magazine, which called it "a fantastic flex on our beloved and embattled L.A. Canyons," while Glide highlighted it as "brimming with Kamm's refreshing approach to country traditions," praising its vivid storytelling and imagination.
At the heart of Tele's work is a fascination with the strange, humorous, and deeply human stories hiding in everyday places. Whether performing solo or with a full band, Kamm's songs balance sincerity, sarcasm and sorrow, spinning haunted jukeboxes, clunker cars, bygone jetsetter dreams, and larger-than-life characters into memorable yarns.
