Audio: Telepathe and Effi Briest Cover Each Other
- story THE FADER
Meeting of the minds! Effi Briest and Telepathe link up to cover each other’s songs for a super limited 7-inch for Skinny Wolves. Effie Briest turn Telepathe’s “Chrome’s On It” into a wide open heady psych jam, appropriating small bits from the original, while Telepathe take a few cues from living in New York and yelp out lyrics with so much conviction that you might believe they invented No Wave. Figure out how much your money is worth in pounds and then go here to grab the vinyl.

Dollars to Pounds: Effi and Blindin’
- story THE FADER
The remit of this column is essentially to tell The FADER’s largely American readers about largely British things going on in Britain (and to happily play up to the stereotype of us Limeys as sarcastic, sexually-repressed, weather-obsessed, borderline-alcoholic snobs). However this week there were so many good North American bands in London—Beirut, Holy Fuck, Yeasayer, Effi Briest—that I’ve asked for special dispensation to big up a Yank band this week. Anyway, Effi Briest’s single is out on a UK label, so for the moment, we’re claiming them. Sorry Brooklyn.
