Télépathique

Télépathique - Love and Lust Télépathique Sounds Like Ladytron - International Dateline http://thememoryg... Ladytron

Télépathique are a dance groove/big beat/DJ duo consisting of Mylene (who does all the vocals) and Erico Theobaldo (who handles all the drums, turntables, and various programming), based out of São Paulo, Brazil.

I believe they are already a big hit throughout Europe and their hometown with their album Last Time on Earth (2006), but Americans will finally hear about them through their debut North American single: Love & Lust to be release March 18 on The Control Group.

Clearly, the best song on this 4-track single is "Eu Gosto", which I believe was not the single because it's too long to be considered for radio airplay (plus it's sung in Portuguese). Instead, the marketing people are smart enough to use "Love and Lust" as the lead song, even though I think it's not as superior as "Eu Gosto".

I'm glad that I'm not the only person that really dig "Eu Gosto" because apparently the group film a video for this song since they probably feel it's a good dance song. The video is pretty amateurish with a lot of low-light (or even no light) shots, but it doesn't matter because it adds to this kind of simple lifestyle.

The other two tracks, "Deja-Vu" are the original and remix of the song. I find that the lack of (or at least very little use of) vocals from Mylene made them less desirable as "single" songs, but their intention is really for the rave/dance floor. The remix is actually pretty good, it's twice as long but the beats per minute will keep you stomping faster and faster until it abruptly stops.

So enjoy "Love & Lust", it's bound to be a big hit with radio and clubs all across America. At least I hope so. You can pick up the EP for a $5 at Control Group.

Watch the video for "Eu Gosto":
