Telehealth, Maya Songbird

Thurs 3/21

Telehealth (Seattle), Maya Songbird

8pm, $10 adv., $12 door

Led by Alexander Attitude, Seattle’s Telehealth is an unpredictable pop band with heavy nods to post-punk, minimal synth, egg-punk, new wave, art rock, glam, and krautrock. Content Oscillator is the debut album of Telehealth, an angular collection of songs that alleviate the modern challenge of ‘just trying to not suck’ in the reality tv, trash fire of a world we have built for ourselves. Utilizing a palette of cold arpeggiated synthesizers, sharp drum machines, herky-jerky rhythms, angular guitar work, melodic bass lines, and stupidly catchy melodies doused in honest sarcasm… Telehealth embraces the absurdity and contradictory nature of the world we live in.

The band’s new 7”on Sub Pop “Mindtrap,” is a nervy, exuberant blast of Devo-esque synthesizer-laden new-wave pop/punk, is an acronym-friendly anthem for corporate soul-searchers in the ‘new normal’. Its counterpart, “Bitter Melody,” is an intricately vocoded and hypnotic groove of YMO-inspired synthesizers exploring validation and warmth in the algorithm era of disassociation.
