Man, I love my hip-hop. That's why I think Brooklyn based band, Telepathe, is so fucking sweet. Well, they are not exactly hip hop...actually not really at all. Whatever, these girls are seriously boss. Along with provocative lyrics, syncopated rhythms and chant-encircled vocals (similar to that of Fuck Buttons), their indie avant-garde style seems to represent a merger between rap and pop. All they need is a fucking auto-tuner (man those things need to go...seriously). Song themes include the usual, crimes and killings, blood, dying and being in love. One bit of beef one my find about their music is that it can be described as drone music. But it sounds like the organic/electronic direction they took in their first LP, Farewell Forest, will be replaced by the percussive, syncopated and unconventionally danceable music we all know and love. Enjoy...New Video off Pitchfork... Telepathe "So Fine"
