(PR) Telepathe's debut album, Dance Mother, is now being released on April 14th on IAMSOUND, and in support of this album they are playing a slew of upcoming shows. They'll be heading down to Austin for SXSW, then hitting the east coast and midwest with Ladytron and The Faint. They'll return to New York on April 15th for a record release show at The Annex.
Melissa Livaudais and Busy Gangnes, the creative pairing at the heart of Telepathe, have 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 TV on the Radio'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.
