Loosely inspired by Richard Adams’s 1972 fantasy novel Watership Down, High Fidelity Drag, the new album from Telyscopes, a.k.a. Jack Hubbell, exhibits elements of uplifting melodies, countered by fragments of discord. Free-floating in a psych-pop dream, the songs’, often optimistic sonic structures, mask a lyrical darkness/cynicism. Go ahead, and drift into its depths. Telyscopes will perform as part of Granz‘s EP release show this Friday, August 4 at The Grape Room, on a lineup that also includes Bazmati Vice, The Classic Hunt, and Somethin’ Divine.
