Papuan New Guinean artist George Telek releases his third album in October and will be touring Australia in November and December. Titled Amette, the album is the third co-produced with Not Drowning Waving/My friend The Chocolate Cake’s David Bridie and continues this extraordinary relationship that has stretched for more than 18 years.

The album was recorded at David’s Enormodome studio in Melbourne in March of 2003 and mixed by Not Drowning Waving's Tim Cole. The album sees a slight departure from his previous two efforts focusing on the more acoustic side of Telek’s writing, featuring a mix of string band, Pacific roots pop and traditional Tolais songs. The result is more instant and stripped back but still very Pacific in sound especially three part harmonies, kundu drums and guitar work. Telek’s previous album ‘Serious Tam’ was greeted with acclaim and sold throughout the world. The album was voted ‘Best Pop Album of 2000’ in UK’s The Times which also wrote “One phenomenal song follows another...Telek's voice on its own is a thing of rare beauty...a magical album”.
