"Telegraph Melts began as a humble exploration into the sonic psychology of the relationship between electric guitar and amplified cello. The duo has endeavored to break new ground on the terrain of untraditional rock and through-composed genres by using 'secret' formulaic techniques to invade audiences' subliminal consciousness and wreak havoc on the pre-established notions of sensible music-making." Will be followed up by a remix 12" featuring Mu-Ziq, DJ Cheb i Sabbah, Horse Opera and Stock, Hausen & Walkman.

ABK 002
|
First full length album by this SF-based group, two previous 10" EPs on Nuf Sed. "I can throw multi-hyphenated descriptions at you to try and explain what makes Virginia Dare and their debut full length so special, multi-hyphenates are a dime a dozen these (especially on one-sheets) and this record is better than that. Virginia Dare is the sound of kismet. It feels familiar, it feels right, it just feels. The rhythm section is brought to you by Greg Freeman's bass and the strum-strumming of Mary O'Neil's autoharp (no drums here). The texture comes via Brad Johnson's unique guitar styling (there's a screwdriver where the whammy bar would normally be). The melody, ah, the melody's dressed up in Mary's proud and pretty alto croon as she delivers tales of urban Americana."
