The Telescopes – Growing Eyes Becoming String Remixes (RSD 2024)

Description

In February 2024 long-standing UK noise-rock pioneers The Telescopes release their sixteenth studio album ‘Growing Eyes Becoming String’, recorded between the Brian Jonestown Massacre studio in Berlin and with early Telescopes producer Richard Formby in Leeds back in 2013. Succumbing to a hard-drive crash, the recordings were assumed lost for years before being recovered and finished by The Telescopes’ Stephen Lawrie over lockdown. This Record Store Day 7″ arrives hot off the back of the album with two explosive, speaker-rattling remixes by Brooklyn’s A Place To Bury Strangers and Milan/London experimental group Throw Down Bones. On this special release, the ‘What You Love’ and ‘(In The) Hidden Fields’ singles are reimagined by two bands undoubtedly influenced by The Telescopes’ decades-long experiments with noise and drone.
