The Telescopes + Denis Jones - Live

In 2024 The Telescopes released three acclaimed albums followed by a 3 month tour of the UK and Europe. Now the all-embracing sounds of The Telescopes return with an lean blitz of seditionary hits. Take a jolt of new release Static Charge and step beyond the realm of natural vision. Stone age beats, outsider sounds, low end disturbance unite in resistance to the new weirdness of existence. This is The Telescopes 8th album for Tapete Records, the sound of four different people playing in a room together. The Telescopes experience is known for having an ever-revolving line up that can vary between one and twenty people. On this album The Telescopes are a four piece consisting of The Telescopes founder and protagonist Stephen Lawrie on guitar and vocals, Darrell Carter on guitar, Robert Prest on bass with John Lynch on drums and percussion. Interesting facts- John can also be found playing with The Jonny Halifax Invocation. Darrell releases great music under the name of Fromme and Robert's Father used to fly Fela Kuti around in a private jet. The album was written, recorded and produced within two month period from November 2025 to January 2026 at Stephen Lawrie's Butterfly House studio in Shropshire. The whole album was recorded mostly live with the only overdubs being vocal harmonies. There are seven songs in total. Denis Jones is a Manchester-based musician who builds immersive, genre-defying soundscapes from voice, guitar, loops and live electronics. Renowned for spontaneous performances in which songs are reconstructed and improvised onstage, he has toured internationally and appeared alongside Massive Attack, Damo Suzuki, Jóhann Jóhannsson and Mr Scruff. His work also extends to film and theatre, including an acclaimed live score for Scuttlers at Manchester's Royal Exchange.He returns to play live for the first time after a period of several years writing new music which he debuts at The Talleyrand Links https://orcd.co/the-telescopeshttps://soundcloud.com/denisjones Telescopes' new single for Tapete Records, White Noise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sokgVNwebxw Previous single for Fuzz Club Records: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOWX4cm64dI&list=RDSOWX4cm64dI&start_radio=1 https://thetelescopes.bandcamp.com/album/static-charge
