For their third full-length LP, Wir brauchen nichts, Tele began experimenting

with different sounds, taking inspiration from the 1940s, lullabies, and choir
music. The album was produced by sound engineer Patrik Majer, who also
arranged the productions for the band Wir sind Helden. Lead singer Fransceco
Wilking featured on Wir sind Helden's third album Soundso, singing an exchange
with Judith Holofernes. To date, Wir brauchen nichts is Tele's most
commercially successful record due to the success of the single Mario, which
Tele used to represent the state Baden-Württemberg at the Bundesvision Song
Contest. The song ranked at number 10 after viewer votes
