Halo Moon is The Telescopes 17th studio album, the 6th for Tapete Records. It came from the sky. A herald of new beginnings. A tranquil glow in the boundless universe. This is a message from the cosmos. Welcome in a heightened sense of connection to the unseen and awaken to the parallel consciousness of The Telescopes.
On the day of conception a halo moon appeared directly above the studio, leaving a trail of magical dust over the sessions that followed. Behold a revolution of nature speaking involuntarily from an alert state of hypnotic trance. Dig the déjà voodoo. Halo Moon was created under these conditions by people under these conditions.
