The Telescopes were often bracketed as a shoegazing act in the early 90s. Back after a long absence and having completely changed direction, Dominic Simpson sees them play a stunning set that utilises drone frequencies and oceanic washes of guitar noise.


Reviews


Songs of Love and Revolution (2021)


Haunting and also surprisingly accessible twelfth album from London-based veteran noise/experimental rockers the Telescopes


Exploding Head Syndrome (2019)


Discordant but often riveting and surprising eleventh album from experimental noise rock act the Telecopes


Hidden Fields (2015)


Eighth offering from Stephen Lawrie's the Telescopes, whom deliver a fine soundscape of noise and confusion


#4 (2005)


Excellent and atmospheric largely instrumental rock from former Creation label signings the Telescopes back with a fourth album on their own Antenna Records label


Altered Perception (2004)


Patchy retrospective for What Goes On and Creation Records signings, the Telescopes, which compiles together material from their first two early 90's albums
