UK-based post-metal instrumentalists Telepathy have shared ‘Augury’, the latest single from their upcoming new full-length release ‘Transmissions’. Due for release on 28th March 2025 through Berlin’s esteemed Pelagic Records, the band have also announced a headline show at London’s The Black Heart venue on the 17th April to celebrate the release of the album.
Shared today, new single ‘Augury’ embodies the upcoming albums rejuvenative focus on the cinematic texture and narrative depth afforded by synthesizers. A six-minute epic, Augury’s fluid halftime groove propels plaintive guitar and synth arpeggios into exciting, uncharted territory as Telepathy’s signature use of found sound and audio samples declare that “the answer lies in the future.”.
Accompanied by their second self-directed video, ‘Augury’ finds the band playing with psychedelic imagery while creating an eerie neon-metropolis; a captivating visual accompaniment from the creatively ambitious multi-hyphenates as they strive to push themselves artistically and build the world of ‘Telepathy’ with every new release.
Formed in 2011, Telepathy is the creation of three Polish brothers; Piotr, Albert and Krystian Turek, and English guitarist Richard Powley. Bringing a collision of musical influences from Tool, Deftones and Vangelis to genres as diverse as Synthwave and Post-Punk, it is the collective’s pervading love for film and movie scores that truly unites the band’s members under the Telepathy banner. Together, the fourpiece quickly made a name for themselves through their instrumental balance of atypical tunings, found audio samples and joyride-like time signatures, conveying remarkably deep and dynamic narratives through their instruments alone.
‘Transmissions’ marks the culmination of four years of introspection, experimentation and revitalisation; representing the band at its expressive core. Inspired by faded photographs unearthed in the brother’s family home and the surprise discovery of a long lost relic, ‘Transmissions’ is a cluster of musical messages that hurtles between nostalgic snapshots of the past and the everyday chaos of the present.
Mastered by Grammy-nominated producer/engineer Machine (Lamb of God, Clutch, Unpeople), ‘Transmissions’ was recorded & produced by the band at their newly established studio in their rural base in the East of England.
‘Transmissions’ is released on the 28th of March, 2025
‘Augury’ is out now.
Telepathy on new single Augury: “The second transmission from our new album completes the theme started with Oath, creating one entire track when played after the preceding single. The video for Augury was designed to take you on a journey into a psychedelic neon city scape, at once widescreen and claustrophobic. We leant into our love of synthesizers, Tangerine Dream and Boards of Canada with this one and we hope it shows another side to our upcoming album!”
Live dates:
April 17th: The Black Heart, London (Album release show)
May 8th: Colossal Weekend, Copenhagen (W/ Chat Pile, Oranassi Pazuzu & more)
