"I remember coming up with this bassline at the swinghouse where we used to rehearse in the early days. It just came together quickly musically, then when it came time to cement the lyrics, I was pulled towards writing about what was going on with the situation and the "dont dont dont" fit really well in to the chorus"

Teleskopes have announced the release of ‘For The Living (Lost & Found Vol. 1)’ out on Friday the 13th of August 2021.  

The 4 track EP showcases the bands roots in Atmospheric Alt Rock, featuring early fan favourites “Release Your Mind”, “Hayling Island”, “Amber” and “Private Michael”.

“Private Michael”, their floor stomping rocker was lyrically inspired by the events of the “Dont Ask, Dont Tell” US military policy. 

It starts off with Pelle Hillstrom’s signature guitar pedal layering that creates a backdrop for bass player/singer Fox Fagan’s thumping bass line before drummer Jesper Kristensen’s unapologetically commanding backbeat kicks in. 

This collection of songs is the first batch of material that the band had ever written and recorded together captured at producer John Baxter’s garage in Studio City, California circa 2012. By the time it was finished Teleskopes had already moved on to the beginnings of their critically acclaimed debut Album ‘Stereocilia’ that was released in 2017 and decided to hold off on releasing those initial recordings.

“We took a long break from them, then came back and we were like; these trigger a lot of great memories and we’re still proud of this stuff. It was the early beginnings of what would become Teleskopes, why not release it and show people” says Pelle Hillstrom. 

Out via Foxtone Records August 13 2021.

Private Michael

Release Your Mind

Amber

"Hayling Island (UK) fair was the place, where we'd hang out as teenagers, where you'd shoot your shot and get knocked back. It was fun. When Pelle started with his major 7 flowery guitar riff it reminded me of the music coming from the carousel blending in with rock riffs coming from the bumper cars and the melody just came. There's so much innocent nostalgia for me in this track. Love that Jesper went with a disco beat and how he hits the half time ending, always goes down well live!" - Fox

Holy Water

Teleskopes, are a Los Angeles based three-piece rock act comprised of Fox Fagan (bass, vocals), Pelle Hillstrom (guitar), and Jesper Kristensen (drums).

The trio formed when Hillstrom and Kristensen connected with Fagan, who had just relocated to Los Angeles from Australia. After working together on other various projects, the three eventually began the process of writing their own music. Early songs developed organically and methodically from their initial focus, which was on developing their live show on the LA club music scene. 

In 2017 Teleskopes released their debut EP “Stereocilia”, a six-track collection of songs that takes the listener on a journey of sweeping soundscapes, towering guitar walls, and swirling atmospherics all wrapped carefully around Fagan’s voice.
