The Telescopes - Harm [Red]

Droning, distorted, and deliciously disorienting, Harm is The Telescopes at their raw, mind-warping best. And yes, it’s on striking red vinyl.

Their seventh studio album is a sonic experiment that refuses to play nice. Developed live over the span of a year with three different lineups, Harm is the result of pure musical instinct. Every track was captured in a single take, no overdubs, no polish - just pure, unfiltered noise and intention. Oh, and every instrument is tuned to 444 Hz, giving it a subtly eerie vibrational edge.

This album pulses with industrial tension and shoegaze decay. Tracks like “Torn” and “Hand Full of Ashes” sound like they’re beaming in from another dimension, where melody battles chaos and both somehow win. The guitars wail, the drums crash like collapsing buildings, and Stephen Lawrie’s vocals drift through the mix like a ghost with unfinished business.

There’s an almost meditative quality to the distortion, think drone meets ritual meets existential crisis. It’s noise with purpose. Grit with gravity.

If you’re ready to leave traditional song structures behind and dive headfirst into beautiful sonic destruction, Harm on red vinyl is your portal. Spin it loud, let the frequencies wash over you, and embrace the glorious collapse.
