TELEPATHE
http://www.myspace.com/telepathe
Removed from the centrifugal forces of Brooklyn's "scenes" and avant-garde formulas, but no less crafted by that powerful creative hub, Telepathe carve up the boundaries between any number of genres including dub, hip-hop, and progressive pop, to devastating effect. They are the hypnotic, multi-layered sound of your new favorite band.
Though the band has a tradition of rotating members, Melissa Livaudais and Busy Gangnes are the creative pairing at the heart of Telepathe. Their half-spoken, half-sung voices, are seamlessly dubbed together as a unified call that's at once plainly lush and undeniably creepy. Melissa and Busy possess an esoteric, voodoo-like charm that's euphoric and impossible to ignore. They have an uncanny knack for crafting a distinctive sound that's cavernous and compelling, but which also owns an over-riding pop sentiment capable of ensnaring the masses.
Telepathe's debut releases, the "Farewell Forest" EP and "Sinister Militia" 12", were released via Social Registry in the US in 2007. Since then, their sound has developed towards the thrilling synthetic ambience present in their most recent recordings, as displayed on recent singles for Merok, No Pain In Pop and Iamsound. Killer melodies, trance-inducing loops, drum-machine-driven experimentation, and the haunting vocal interplay between Melissa and Busy are Telepathe's hallmarks.Their "woman-meets-machine mishmash," as described by The FADER, is present throughout their debut album, Dance Mother, produced by TV On The Radio's industrious Dave Sitek, released via Cooperative at the beginning of 2009.
"Dave Sitek's favourite band are also New York's strangest new prospect... [Telepathe] veer from electric karaoke to instrumental noise-pop, happily cementing their position as 2008's most intriguing band" -- NME
"[Their] big vision, purposeful or not, is to erode the traditional idea of what constitutes a band." -- The FADER
"Telepathe forge largely improvised guitar gusts, woodsy chirps, wraithlike Bjorkian harmonies, and powerfully jabbed drums into minimalist baroque." -- Village Voice
"This arthouse bashment, which crosses Diplo with a poetry slam, is baffling and compelling in equal measure." -- The Guardian UK

Check out his new 7" on Skinny Wolves Records.
Taking inspiration from 80s minimal synth / DIY bedroom electronics and the early 4AD / Factory Records / Mute Records scenes, Contact Sports evokes the ghostly sounds of Robert Rental and John Foxx's early works. Patrick Kellehers first new release since the critically acclaimed You Look Cold album, sees a move into a more upbeat, yet dark and moody dancefloor mover.
Here's what Boomkat said: "Irish songwriter and electronic pop merchant Patrick Kelleher returns with a new 7" fronted by the ace '80s DIY synth-pop stylings of 'Contact Sports', which comes draped in gated reverb and period electric piano sounds. It's mercilessly retro and painfully zeitgeisty, but when its pulled off this well, such considerations are but trifles. The remix on the B-side comes from Alalal, renowned for production work with The Big Pink, Klaxons and The Rapture. This brings the track back into the 21st century with thumping club-friendly beats and hefty bass frequencies."

Dublin-based producer Meljoann Ryan’s “Tour Guide EP” for Boy Scout Audio is a fine introduction to her ear-catching electro-funk. Expect an album later this year, plus Ryan is also half of Gland & Conduit with fellow producer Herv.
