Telekaster - Space Lido (2025)

Travelogue, roadmap, loveletter, mission statement. This record has become many things.

After a few years of exploring textural ambient guitar across several albums and EPs (including the 2024 LP Tracing Back The Stream), these new recordings mark a point of departure for Matthias Grübel and his Telekaster project.

This time co-working with drummer Danny Rico (Steaming Satellites, DRiP), Matthias set out to explore groove-infused territory - always melodic, always elegant and packaged in an emotional band sound.

Telekaster takes a dive into Neo-Kraut, Cosmic Music and Ambient Jazz, the latter highlighted on the track Lichtung, which features the saxophone talents of Philipp Hager aka Schweben (one half of German avant-rock-duo Zement) in a beautiful collaborational effort.

See you at the Space Lido. We really believe this place exists. And it's a good one.
