Product Description

CD Description

On their first two albums, Chicago-based Telefon Tel Aviv'simmaculately produced glitchtronica managed to shoehorn fractured snippets of modern R&B and ambient electronica into askeleton of complex, IDM-styled drum programming. While always forward-thinking in their approach, TTA's modernist genre rejiggers rarely approached anything resembling classic song form. IMMOLATE YOURSELF, the duo's third album, represents a big, bold step toward the stylized classicism and emotional heft of `80s synth-pop outfits like Depeche Mode and NewOrder. Released on techno-chanteuse Ellen Allien's label, Bpitch Control, IMMOLATE's sound is worlds away from the catalog's frigid, Teutonic aesthetic. Warm, textural, and evocative appears to be the order of the day, and TTA's newfound emotional cogency lends new dimension to vocal-led tracks such as the shoegazesque opener, "The Birds". The group's turn toward pensive synth-driven melancholia is especially evident on the stirring "Helen of Troy". Dominated by prickly synth arpeggios and a smear of ghostly vocals, its heart-wrenching tones were made all the more poignant after the album's release on news of TTA member Charlie Cooper's sudden death.

5.0 out of 5 stars "In My End Is My Beginning", 23 Jul 2009

By	The Wolf (uk) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

The confusion and ambiguity surrounding the death of
Mr Cooper wraps around this album like a black cloud.

It is impossible not to think of it without listening deeper
within the music for some sign, some understanding of how the
tragedy came about. Accident or design ? We shall never know.

The release of 'Immolate Yourself' and his demise are connected
so closely in time that hardly a breath hangs between them.

Together, Mr Cooper and Mr Eustis created some dark energy
with this willful and wonderfully wild music.
Two hugely creative minds. A massive collaborative achievement.

The ten compositions which make up this project contain some
of the most intelligent and emotionally affecting sounds
to have evolved out of electronica's chequered history.
It is a distinctive and substantial contribution to the genre.

Rock-solid beats like blocks of granite, stark and immovable.
Washes of swirling half-heard disembodied voices, lost in a sonic fog.

'M' takes one's breath away with its uncompromising vision.

'Mostly Translucent' moves like a shadow over water.
The gradual build-up of layer upon layer of sound is
utterly thrilling. Its ending as ambiguous as its beginning.

'I Made A Tree On The Wold' is infused with a little more
warmth than we encounter elsewhere on the album.
The spirits are still restless however. The swirling central
crecendo is unlike any other sound I have ever heard.
Mesmerizing.

The quasi-industrial wasteland of 'Your Every Idol'
drags you by the hair into a truly nightmarish void.
There is no guide and we are left to fend for ourselves.
Terrifying.

Final track 'Immolate Yourself' could be a portent.
Choked, calamitous, raw and unresolved.

Retrospectively it almost seems as though
the loss was already there in the music.

The album is both an epitaph and a revelation.

Essential.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5/5 Album..., 21 Feb 2009

By	Mike G "picks2005" (Brighton, UK) - See all my reviews

This album is absolutely stunning. I could go on and on trying to convey exactly how beautiful and well rounded it is but I wouldn't do it justice. It's a huge shame that just two days after the release of Immolate Yourself, Charlie Cooper, one half of Telefon Tel Aviv, passed away at the age of 31.

I love 'Immolate Yourself' and it's now firmly fixed in my top 5 albums of all time.

Nothing much more to add to the other reviews on here; deep, intelligent well made and musical electronic rock from a criminally underrated band. Read more
