The Telescopes - Experimental Health (2023) [Hi-Res]

"Between hallucinatory ballads and transcendent melodies, clanging, lo-fidelity buzzes and joyful psychotic touches, this work is a treasure trove of truly precious possessions. Battered only in appearance, unclassifiable yet accessible to a wide audience, Experimental Health is the photograph of a distorted reality and for this reason a sweetly and devilishly cathartic album. The year isn't over yet, but it's already rightfully among the best records of 2023" (Perkele)

“Buzzes with insectoid static". 8/10 (Uncut Magazine)

“Like Robert Wyatt on LSD... it may be The Telescopes' most accessible album in years" (Gonzaï Magazine)

"You’ve not heard anything like this before" (Electronic Sound Magazine)

"Absolutely gripping in sound and consequence. And intelligence. And perception. And in Lawrie's unsated need to work from every conceivable angle. And every fucking thing else that you can possibly think of. This is brilliant" (Isolation)

"Experimental Health mostly doles out candied gems, some of the band's most infectious songs in recent memory..." (Most Anticipated Releases Of 2023: Beats Per Minute)

"An album of lo-fi psyched-out swirls that lushly loop around, distorted and rich, defying any humble origins. There is a healthy depth to its strangeness" (NARC Magazine)

"Elegiac, claustrophobic and contagiously disturbed" (Classic Rock)

"Almost proving that these toys and synths have spirits of their own, that an uncanny expression of the divine lives in their emissions" (4/5, Wee Review)

"Experimental Health has the hollow shape of a shelter. Come and unplug from the rest of the world, if that is what you, like me, desire" (Reverendo Lys)

"Sits proudly alongside some of Lawrie’s finest works" (8.5/10 - Under The Radar)

"Tintinnabulation resounds through the astral planes pulsating waves of pleasure that wash over the mind's crevices... Highly recommended" (Scene Point Blank)
