BIO
Telepath is a unique new voice in live-electronic music. The 3-piece from Asheville, NC incorporates a wide variety of sampled sounds -- horn lines, rhythm guitars, Indian and Arabic musicians and vocalists –- and lays them over deep groove drumming and dark, reggae-infused basslines. The result is a multi-layered journey of sound that can transport listeners from a remote village in Pakistan, to a dub studio in 1970s Jamaica, to a fat Philly hip-hop groove -- sometimes in the same song. It is this "ReWorld" approach that prompted Thievery Corporation's "Outernational Music" representation company to choose Telepath as one of its inaugural artists. The debut album, Fire One, is available on iTunes, CDBaby.com, and Amazon.com.

REVIEWS
"Telepath... closed out the first night beautifully. Down-tempo and a little ambient, Telepath’s bass, keyboard and drums were a great way to wind down the night, providing one of the most unique sets all weekend."
-Pietro C. Truba,
Glide Magazine

"Whether they're dropping back-alley bass lines, floating through an Arabic caravan, or backing an Afrobeat horn section, Telepath's music is a journey"
-Stratton Lawrence,
Charleston City Paper

Review of Fire One
The Mountain Xpress
The multicultural downtempo sound of Telepath's debut album evokes the spirit of a Buddha Bar compilation or Thievery Corporation mix (fittingly, since Telepath is represented by Thievery Corporation's Outernational Music outfit). The tracks are undergirded by laid-back island beats and Fela-esque horn lines, and there are sequences that wouldn't be out of place in a Bollywood film – even otherworldly sounds find their way into the mix. Writer/performer/producer Michael Christie – along with the aid of several guest musicians – makes music that will get your head nodding, if not your feet moving. Of course, it depends on how kinetic you'd like your dub experience to be, but Telepath offers up quite a few danceable tracks on this disc.
– Mannie Dalton

"Here is something special... you should check out this record... you won't regret it"
