The Telescopes return on Nov. 17, releasing a new album called Experimental Health via Cold Spring Records. It is the Telescopes' 14th album in total, described in pre-press as energetic yet dark and abrasive.

The album was created by Stephen Lawrie from January-May 2022, recorded with a variety of broken toys, cheap synths, and notably zero guitars. 

The Lawrie-led project began in 1987, releasing Of Tomorrow last year.

1. Because They Care (5:40)
2. The Turns (4:20)
3. When I Hear The Sound (4:04)
4. Leave Nobody Behind (4:55)

Experimental Health
Weisskalt (2023)

There has been a lot of excitement about The Telescopes’ latest record, Of Tomorrow, and rightly so.
