On her debut album, I'm Telling You the Truth, talker (the alias of indie rocker Celeste Tauchar) isn't keeping any secrets.

Over the past five years, talker has released 3 EP's to critical acclaim, receiving nods from NPR Music, The A.V. Club, Billboard, and more. She's toured throughout the U.S. supporting Future Teens, Smidley, and Party Nails, and has done co-headlining tours with Lady Pills, in Los Angeles, performing a different body of work at every show. When it comes to creating a community around her work and platform to be heard, talker hasn't left any stone unturned.

The eleven songs that make up talker's debut album are some of her most honest songs - from the raging angst-filled "TWENTYSOMETHING" (a fitting accompaniment to today's female-driven punk songwriters like illuminati hotties, Speedy Ortiz, and Wet Lag) where the listener gets to be pissed off without justification, to more confessional, self-examining ballad, "Easygoing", which will leave listeners realizing that their parents relationship made them unable to accept intimacy or date in a healthy way.

Overall, the music feels like sharing secrets with a friend. You'll be angry together, you'll get your hearts broken together, and you'll set some boundaries with your friends together, even when it's hard.

Created while touring between LA and Nashville, the album features new collaborations, including songs produced with Collin Pastore & Jake Finch (Lucy Dacus, boygenuis, illuminati hotties), Daniel Loumpouridis (Louis the Child, KING MALA, Ryan Woods), Jon Graber (We Are the Union, Goldfinger, The All-American Rejects), and Aidan Hogg (G Flip, Hatchie).

"I'm Telling You the Truth" comes out June 21st, 2024.
