Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as an early cornerstone of the British shoegaze movement, 'Taste' is characterized by its overwhelming volume and walls of heavily distorted guitars. The Telescopes combine the chaotic, aggressive elements of noise rock with underlying psychedelic melodies, creating a dense and disorienting sonic experience.
