TelePathiQ = DJ Shadow + Phantogram

In just three songs, TelePathiQ packs enough intensity for a full-length album. Booming drums are silhouetted by classical riffs of piano and paired with female vocals. The result is a composition that is both dark and light—the shadowy texture of the techno beats is complemented by the cool, creepy vocals. “Dark Room” has a dramatic, strobe-light effect as the intro song, while “My Misdemeanor” leaves a softer, more illustrious image. “Breaks My Heart” adds gloomy, introspective lyricism, stating, “I have a delicate soul.” Dark Room is a satisfying length with layers of beats that make it a compelling work of electronic music. –Kia McGinnis
