Telepathe’s debut album, Dance Mother, will be released on April 14th on IAMSOUND, and in support of this album they are playing a slew of upcoming shows (dates below). They’ll be heading down to Austin for SXSW, then hitting the east coast and midwest with Ladytron and The Faint. Telepathe returns to New York on April 15th for a record release show at The Annex.
Telepathe is Melissa Livaudais and Busy Gangnes. The duo has further developed their layered, synthetic sound on this debut album. They combine killer melodies, trance-inducing loops, drum-machine driven experimentation, intensely personal lyrics and haunting vocal melodies to make a new sonic purity that gives themselves the confidence and stylistic singularity to transcend genres. Produced by TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek and featuring guest vocals by TVOTR’s Kyp Malone and !!!’s Shannon Funchess, Telepathe’s full-length debut is a stunning achievement presenting dark but forward-thinking hybrid pop music for the next generation.
Dance Mother has been augmented with remixes by Chairlift, The Big Pink and Atticus Ross, best known for his production work with Nine In Nails and collaborating with Trent Reznor. IAMSOUND has been collecting videos of various artists talking about Telepathe. Contributors include Diplo, The Mae Shi, No Age and many more here.
