‘TRANSMISSIONS’ PAIRS GENRE-DEFIANT ETHOS WITH CINEMATIC SYNTH INTROSPECTION

UK-based post-metal instrumentalists Telepathyhave announced the release of their fourth full-length, ‘Transmissions’, on 28th March, 2025through Berlin’s Pelagic Records.

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.

Telepathy’s latest offering ‘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. Amongst precious memories and family treasures, the Turek brothers stumbled upon a recording of the first radio broadcast of statesman Józef Piłsudski, widely regarded as the founder of modern Poland. The wonder and optimism in his voice, captured over 100 years ago, ignited an inspirational drive to reflect this sense of awe in the present by pushing their musical creativity further than ever before.

This revolutionary reinvention is immediately apparent on lead single and opening track ‘Oath’, which poured effortlessly out of the band in just one day. A recreation of that famous radio transmission introduces eight formidable minutes of widescreen riffs and thundering drums augmented by a new arsenal of cinematic synth textures that pushes Telepathy’s already genre-defying ethos towards introspective new terrain as they reframe nostalgic awe as a means of embracing the beauty of a shared present.

To accompany this first single, we are treated to a self-directed music video in which the four members of Telepathy perform a rendition of “Oath”. But no white walls or studio for this staging, as the band set up in a remote location, close to nature, with their feet in the earth and autumn leaves. Arranged in a circle, the Turek brothers and Rich Powley give their all, demonstrating the osmosis that animates them. All this while the shots and camera movements create a truly immersive experience for viewers!

‘Transmissions’ is released on the 28th of March, 2025
