Telescreens, Why the Lights Flicker, pushes their ethos further than ever. Recorded at The Bridge in Williamsburg, Brooklyn during summer 2024, the album explores spiritual disconnection in a hyper-capitalist world & the search for clarity in chaos. “The goal of this record was to capture the energy of the four of us playing live, we rehearsed every day for 6 months and recorded all together in a room for two straight weeks. Capture the lightning, immortalize it, at all costs – that was the goal,” says frontman Jackson Hamm.

Sonically, the album features heavy guitar anthems, cathartic choruses that strike like revelation, and ballads that bleed like truth. Telescreens craft a sound that’s both nostalgic and forward-facing, leaning into the raw power of classic rock while effortlessly embodying a modern vitality. Their single “Nothing” is a perfect example of their vision, juxtaposing lyrics that suffer with apathy against massive guitar riffs and pounding drums which reveal a desperation for something more. For Telescreens, Why the Lights Flicker is their magnum opus. Their debut The Return (2020) introduced them as bold storytellers. Their 2024 LP 7, solidified them as a band whose whole is far greater than the sum of its parts. Why the Lights Flicker is an album that shows purpose precedes process, inviting listeners to step outside the polarization of our times, the isolation created by our screens, and closer together as humans.

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
