Slow and low is the tempo, as a group of wise poets once said, but when you’re talking about Philadelphia electronic trio Telepath, that's just the starting point. Incorporating a slew of international sounds through a deep dub filter — we're pretty sure the only continent that doesn't have an influence is Antarctica, but we all know their music sucks anyway — and keeping the emphasis on the funky and the spaced-out, Telepath manage to create a jet-setting sound that reflects the vast interconnectivity of our changing world. Part Afro-beat, part Sitar-beat and covered head to toe in gorgeous echoes and delay, the Telepath sound is not for close-minded, weak-willed conformists. No, these are tunes for epic sonic adventurers. Slow, chilled-out adventurers, but adventurers nonetheless.
