The 10th album by The Telescopes. Released by the publishing house Yard Press, which inaugurates a series of record productions within a new art project dedicated to music.
Stone Tape is a concept album inspired by “Stone Tape Theory”,
theorized by Thomas Charles Lethbridge in 1961.
The archaeologist, parapsychologist and explorer developed the idea that inanimate materials can absorb energy from living beings, and that this mental electrical energy, released during emotional or traumatic events, could somehow be “stored” in such materials and “reproduced” under certain conditions.
The six songs comprised in the album have been written, produced, arranged and played by Stephen Lawrie, founder of The Telescopes.

One of the few bands around in which I'll buy every prerelease without even bothering to listen to the taster tune. I love The Telescopes that much. jonezyboy
