Telegraph - Beyond Good And Evil (CD)

Telegraph is an Italian electronic band characterized by marked synthpop influences and heavily inspired by the New Wave movement. The project originated in 2010 in Bari (southern Italy) brainchild of Davide Colella, and started with the first line-up to work on the earliest compositions in 2011.

From a musical point of view, ‘Beyond Good and Evil’ is everything but minimalistic, characterized by rich electronic arrangements and multiple textures of melodies and orchestrations. The retro-futuristic style recalls many ‘80s pop icons, such as Ultravox, Depeche Mode, Simple Minds or Gary Numan, without lacking more modern rock and industrial influences.

It was not born as a concept album, and probably it’s not such even if we look at the end result. However, at some point in the working phase, we noticed the existence of a ‘leitmotif’, born spontaneously and almost unconsciously; an underlying thread behind the scaffolding of the entire album, but at the same time, organic to the latter.

It’s the concept of hypocrisy, effectively symbolized by the ‘veil’ (a metaphor borrowed from the philosophy of Schopenhauer and, before him, from the eastern culture); something that is between the observer and the real essence of things.
