Telekinetic Soulmate – Break The Sticks EP

Catalog Number: DR019
Release Year: 1996

Telekinetic Soulmate return to the Defective scene after a long hiatus; their first tracks appeared on the seminal Defective Soundscapes CD (DR.005), a collection of ambient grooves by three talented groups including Pure Gamma, Exterior Mirror, and T.K.S.M. As with many members of the Defective clan, Patrick Jacobson and Hope Pinkard‘s music was well ahead of its time…

Having retained the moody, dark, ethereal funkiness of their original work, “Break the Sticks” shows just how well this band has matured. They’ve increased the groove element in their music, but all of the songs still have that almost magical power over the listener which excited us so much a couple years ago.

Garnering more and more attention for the excellent live shows they’ve been performing on the U.S. East Coast, Telekinetic Soulmate is poised to make a big impact on the ambient / groove genre. We think you’ll agree.
