Telepathe are a fluid and process-orientated band that ebb and flow through various genres of music all the while creating their own mysterious sound.

Led by Busy Ganges and Melissa Lavaudais, with an ever-rotating personnel, the group take their eerie textural music and interweave into it a rhythmic pattern that pulls the listener in.

Sinister Militia is Telepathe's second release on The Social Registry, following on from last year's Farewell Forest CD EP, and it shows the band developing their sound further.

It is comprised of two new tracks, Sinister Militia and Islands, along with a remix of each.

Telepathe blur genres as they apply their experience in punk rock/hard core bands to the dance music algorithm.

The two remixes on Sinister Militia are executed by friends and admirers of Telepathe and help bring that element to light.

Tyler Pope of !!! remixed Sinister Militia and sends the track to the dancefloor, overdubbing additional percussion to create a tribal poly-rhymthic mind bender.

Islands (Soft Pink Truth remix) is by Drew Daniel of Matmos. Accentuating the rock instrumentation and electronic music elements of the recordings, he pushes the guitars to the front of the room and reorients the rhythmic elements with jumpcut percision.

Sinister Militia was recorded at New York's The Magic Shop as Telepathe was preparing to start work on their debut full-length.

As such, it is a transitional release that finds the band taking steps towards their current sound, which will soon be fully evident.

Their album is in its finishing stages and is being mixed by Spank Rock's Alex XXXChange.
