Telepathe
A band that started out making a bleary, oblique drone that was something akin to Gang Gang Dance on cough syrup, Brooklyn’s Telepathe upped the energy—and the pop hooks—considerably on its recent Dance Mother. Building on a formidable wall of synth splatter and tribal drums from TV On The Radio’s Dave Sitek, the core duo of Melissa Livaudais and Busy Gangnes reinvented themselves in the atmospheric, synth-chilled vein of experimental electro groups like The Knife, albeit considerably less restrained. Live, they create a blizzard of samples, mesmeric loops, and reverb-drowned guitars that inspires a response somewhere between trance and dance.
