Album Review

Charlie Cooper and Josh Eustis' second and third Telefon Tel Aviv albums are as different from one another as their first and second albums. Fahrenheit Fair Enough's fractured, melodic instrumentals morphed into crisp song form on Map of What Is Effortless, with vocalists and string arrangements helping to shape alternately jagged and sweeping productions into tense glitch/R&B torch songs. Following Map, Immolate Yourself — released on Ellen Allien's Bpitch Control label — increases the pensive energy and tension, with both conveyed through snapping beats, taut sequencer patterns, sheet upon sheet of textural elements, and vocals that come across as desperate and/or pained, even when barely audible beneath all the consuming sounds. These are chilling sounds from a dark place that, nonetheless, shelter the listener. Between the European and stateside physical releases of the album, Cooper passed away. Knowledge of that could only intensify the album's most passive spins.

Customer Reviews

Wonderful

This is a beautifully crafted, haunting album. Every track stands well on its own, but the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts. It's unfortunate that this is the end of Telefon Tel Aviv because this offering really seemed to show them hitting their stride.

immolates you

lush, dark, cool, fun, hypnotic, gorgeous

Awesome album from a unique band!

(disclaimer: if you look at a better digital download store - *cough* *cough* emusic *cough* - you'd see that this album has an average rating of 5/5 stars!) TTA once again show that they don't have to sound like other people even if they have influences that you can identify - on this album, it's synthpop, but created in a very TTA method! Check out "Helen of Troy" or "You Are The Worst Thing In The World" for an accurate taste of this album (and some of the best tracks!). Not as "blippy" as the first album, but not as "catchy" as "My Week Beats Your Year" from their last album, this is truly part of the continued evolution of an amazingly talented duo.
