What happens when a young seamstress grows into a songstress? Just as strings stitch clothes together, they also run along the neck of her violin and inside the body of her piano. “The name of the band comes from an obsession with relating music and art you can touch and feel like fabric,” says Pamela Martinez, Teletextile’s vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. “I like the idea that fabric can surround you, and it can also change shape when you touch it. I think the clothes people wear communicate things about them. I made the word up. It’s like communicating – ‘tele’ and ‘textile’ – a feeling, or something you can feel.”

Teletextile is comprised of Martinez and keyboardist and electro-nerd Brian Hamilton. Encompassing an extensive array of instrumental talent - ranging from cello, violin, and harp to mallet percussion – the tasteful knack for electronic inflections atop Pamela’s strong control over the piano keys are the prominent compliments to her haunting vocals. With Care Package, Teletextile presents ten tracks that emote a sense of isolation and compositionally depict a warm invitation of vulnerability through such bare, lyrical honesty.

Teletextile is the offspring of the Pamela Martinez Band, who played around Boston for a few years during and after her stint at the Berklee College of Music. A four song EP, released in 2005 simply under the name Pamela Martinez, garnered national press coverage and radio play, praising her as America’s answer to Björk. Care Package, which was recorded at a variety of locations, showcases the vocal and instrumental virtuosity of Martinez and Hamilton, as well as a host of guest musicians.

Another piece of Teletextile’s appeal is its visual stimulation. Having collaborated with dancers, computer and classical musicians, and video artists, the live manifestation of Teletextile’s vision is a breath of fresh air. Undoubtedly personal, Teletextile invites you to unwrap the care package, thinning the line between one’s heart and the rest of the world.
