Recorded at Sear Sound, in in New York, New York, on September 15th, 2018, by Jeremy Loucas.
Volume two will be released in the future. Electric Telepathy is the ghost that lives in our senses when electricity invades us with challenging sounds. It's a quality of the matter and the heart, lifeblood that allows us to rediscover peace, a provider of affection, feelings, and passions. This music challenges us to think about the border between "default world" and "dream world," between material and essence, between flesh and soul. There is magic in the obsessive chase of wind instruments and in the electrical, alive and cosmic melodies that melt and come back together.
Listen to this album if you want music that comes either from outer space or from the inner space of your imagination. Listen to this music if you still have a thinking heart. Listen to this music if what you're looking for is not answers but desires and questions. Listen to the telepathy that is calling you; listen to it, and you won't be afraid of the unknown."-577 Records
"It seems like a leap for a free improvisation group to call itself "psych-jazz," especially when it involves Daniel Carter, a multi-instrumentalist known for wild blowing on reeds and brass. But the opening minutes of "Fresh Dialect" evoke a night when Syd Barrett might have wandered offstage, leaving the rest of Pink Floyd to roll on without him. Mainly it's Mathew Putman's Farfisa-esque organ setting the psychedelic scene, though Hillard Green (bass) and Federico Ughi (drums) establish a raw, tom-heavy groove. Before long Carter and Patrick Holmes enter, both on clarinets, playing separate ideas that flow together. By the end of the 19-minute track, things have morphed towards loose jazz improvisation-but the mood is set.
The laid-back vibe continues throughout. Following last year's live Telepatia Liquida album, the group built Electric Telepathy, Vol. 1 from a series of studio improvisations that were edited down. Aside from the opening piece, the other four tracks all present fairly concise performances that each come in under six minutes. The group never resorts to uninhibited blowing, preferring to create something more meditative than fiery. If things start sounding a little shambolic or noodly, the Telepathic Band lives up to its name and moves in unison. "Ease Tease" works like a strong interlude between tracks, with Carter's trumpet leading the call and Holmes adding commentary behind it. Switching to tenor saxophone in "Lust-Call," Carter charts the path, beginning and ending alone, while his bandmates ease in behind him and add some color before slipping back out. In a way, it ends the album somewhat anticlimactically. But sometimes that's the way the music unfolds. Always leave them wanting more."-Mike Shanley, JazzTimes
