TELEPATHE “A Brooklyn band rooted in the shifting noise landscapes of peers like Gang Gang Dance and Excepter, Telepathe bring producers like Timbaland, Diplo and Spank Rock into the equation...Telepathe’s music is unmistakeable.” – Spin.com “Telepathe forge largely improvised guitar gusts, woodsy chirps, wraithlike Bjorkian harmonies, and powerfully jabbed drums into minimalist baroque.” – Village Voice Telepathe are a fluid and process-orientated band that ebb and flow through various genres of music all the while creating their own mysterious sound. Led by Busy Ganges and Melissa Lavaudais, with an ever-rotating personnel, the group take their eerie textural music and interweave into it a rhythmic pattern that pulls the listener in. Sinister Militia is Telepathe’s second release on The Social Registry, following on from their debut release, Farewell Forest CD EP, and it shows the band developing their sound further. It is comprised of two tracks, "Sinister Militia" and "Islands," along with a remix of each. Telepathe blur genres as they apply their experience in punk rock/hard core bands to the dance music algorithm. The two remixes on Sinister Militia are executed by friends and admirers of Telepathe and help bring that element to light. Tyler Pope of !!! remixed "Sinister Militia" and sends the track to the dancefloor, overdubbing additional percussion to create a tribal poly-rhymthic mind bender. "Islands (Soft Pink Truth remix)" is by Drew Daniel of Matmos. Accentuating the rock instrumentation and electronic music elements of the recordings, he pushes the guitars to the front of the room and reorients the rhythmic elements with jumpcut percision. |
