Telesatan Telesatan cassette
Cassette version of the four-song 7” out on Phantom Records. This is the third release by Germany’s TELESATAN, returning after a three-year gap from their previous cassette also on Phantom Records. Mid-tempo spooky punk with sassy vocals barked on top. TELESATAN never really makes their way out of the mid-tempo range, with the bass and drums locking in on the repetitive grooves while the guitar meanders around. Vocally, I hear similarities to long-running Buffalo, NY noise rock act ALPHA HOPPER. Both vocalists have a similar chirp, as well as regularly utilizing a vocal upscoop. Professional-sounding recording given the Will Killingsworth mastering treatment, so you know a bit of what you’re in for with the sound quality.
