Six Organs of Admittance to Release Rare Tracks, Then Retreat Back to Nature

By Liz Louche on 11-10-2008

Finally, a date for the upcoming Telepathe full-length! Their most recent EP, Chrome's On It, was released this October through IAMSOUND and featured remixes by the indie dance elect, including Mad Decent, Free Blood (ex-!!!), The Mae Shi, Bobby Evans (Brother Reade), and Frankmusik. They've been on the road with Diplo, Abe Vigoda, and Boy 8-Bit -- a tour that I'm sure history will look back on as one of the fall's most bangin'-est, and probably the only tour of 2008 to prominently feature a giant dancing hot dog and party pizza. Now, after playing shows and playin' hoes from Europe to Australia to New Zealand, Dance Mother, the nine-song LP, can finally be unveiled.

Back in late 2007, the all lady lineup checked into Stay Gold Studios with TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek, and only a few nine-or-so months later, in September 2008, the final touches have been successfully laid on. Slated for release February 17, 2008 via IAMSOUND, Dance Mother promises vintage synths, guest vocals from TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone, and !!!'s Shannon Funchess, as well as tons and tons of indie-rock-meets-dub-step, "should I dance to this or just nod my head really emphatically?" jams.

Telepathe's unique, unclassifiable sound has justifiably been getting rave reviews from the likes of Drowned in Sound, Interview, and the Village Voice, and underground buzz has been steadily building. And so, dear readers, if you're too indie rock to shake it like a salt shaker, but too fun to not wanna drop it low once in awhile, I'd like to encourage you to check this band out and find a happy medium.

Note to Telepathe: I know he is not yours, but the next time you tour, please bring the giant pizza. I really think we found something magical, one cold night on a hot dancefloor in Minneapolis.

In a recent interview with the tastemakers at Rolling Stone, singer, songwriter, and complainer Ryan Adams lamented about a recent comment from former Replacements frontman and far-better-Minnesota-Senatorial-candidate-than-Al-Franken Paul Westerberg, who said, “Someone should knock [the complainer Ryan Adams’] teeth out.” Mr. Adams, always glad to oblige the media with his incessant bitching, claimed, “I left home because of things like that. I can't listen to his music again, ever."

Well, Ryan, if positive reinforcement and a criticism-free environment is what you so desperately crave, boy oh boy have you made a strange touring decision! In support of his new album Cardinology (TMT Review), Ryan Adams will be opening for those lugubrious lads from Wankchester Oasis, and if they’re known for one thing, it’s intense disagreeability! But here’s the real cosmic question, ya’ll: When two groups of such meteoric assholes collide, will their catastrophic wake leave an unforeseen landscape of gorgeous celestial brilliance Einstein only dared dream of on especially comfortable nights, or will their unholy union surely rain brimstone upon a waiting Earth and bring on the fabled end of days? There’s only one way to find out, and that means you’ll actually have to buy a ticket for an Oasis concert. Or you could do something much cooler with your time instead, like read a book on pressing flowers or get a head start on your tax return. The choice is yours!
