Their three influential albums of the 2000\u2019s\u2014Fahrenheit Fair Enough, Map Of What Is Effortless, and Immolate Yourself\u2014charted an increasingly turbulent and textured vision of post-IDM synthetic songcraft, until the sudden passing of founding member Charlie Cooper in 2009 ceased the project, presumably forever.<\/p>\n<p>During the decade since, co-founder Josh Eustis has performed with, produced, mixed, and mastered countless artists, from high-profile institutions (Nine Inch Nails, Puscifer, Apparat) to underground fixtures (Belong, Vatican Shadow, Drab Majesty, Tropic Of Cancer), in addition to his own solo and collaborative work in Sons Of Magdalene and Second Woman. But years of reflection and processing gradually seeded in him a desire to revive TTA and venture a fourth full-length, in the spirit of what they started: <strong>Dreams Are Not Enough.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From the shuddering software oscillations of the opening piece, \u201cI dream of it often,\u201d the classic Telefon palette of hyper-modern sound design and smoky nocturnal emotion feels vividly revitalized. The songs stand apart but belong together, threading a veiled narrative of loss, anger, and age\u2014the crumbling of constancies, shifting sands slipping through the hourglass.<\/p>\n<p>The album\u2019s fragmented track titles relate a recurring dream that\u2019s haunted Eustis since childhood, based on a murky incident during a family vacation to a remote Alabama coastline when he was eight. In the dream he swims alone through the waves past the sandbar to where the ocean shelf abruptly drops away into a gradient of infinite darkness; awed, he peers into the depths and sees himself down at the bottom, mouth open and eyes blank, standing motionless like a corpse.<\/p>\n<p>An undercurrent of eerie melancholy flows through the album, manifested in shivering widescreen meditations, depressive twilit modern pop, and devotional industrial abstractions. Melodies emerge and evaporate; rhythms lock in step then fracture and fade; centers cannot hold. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cA younger version of myself\u201d deftly encapsulates the unique poignancy and shadowplay of this TTA iteration, shuffling on a hypnotic rhythm with the swing of backwards looping tape as Eustis croons a lost, liminal lament about lost time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStanding at the bottom of the ocean\u201d sinks even more minimal, subliminal electricity crossfading into skeletal soul built from ghostly bass, smeared chords, and naked voice, before ebbing away in a cyber-screwed downtempo outro.<\/p>\n<p>Eustis speaks of wanting Dreams Are Not Enough to evoke a sense of emptiness, of cutting unnecessary elements from each mix, to convey this as a solitary work\u2014 framing an absence. A document as much of what\u2019s not there as what remains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DOORS 8PM PARKING IS FREE ONSITE DREAMS ARE NOT ENOUGH The return of storied Southern Gothic electronic entity Telefon Tel Aviv is as unexpected as it is impressive.
