The Telescopes are back with a new album titled As Light Return July 7th. The album is the band's first since 2015's Hidden Fields, and their ninth album overall. The fuzz-noise/shoegazers say they're focused and in a comfortable creative place now, which wasn't quite the case in the 90s according to leader Stephen Lawrie:
"I found myself in a position in the early 90s where the main concern everyone around me had was whether or not the next song I wrote was a hit. Looking back now it’s obvious The Telescopes were never going to be that kind of a deal, but at the time it was a severe distraction that took a long while to shake off. I have learned more about keeping sight of the things that inspired me to create in the first place and not to compromise them in any way."
Stream the new single "You Can't Reach What You Hunger" off of As Light Return below. The album arrives July 14th in North America and is available to pre-order here.
