Telescreens’ third album Why the Lights Flicker is the NYC rockers’ most definitive statement to date, showcasing the band’s conceptual ambitiousness as well as their ability to write immensely satisfying music. The quartet—Jackson Hamm (vocals/guitar), Austin Brenner (bass), Josiah Valerius (keys/synth), and Oliver Graf (drums)—delivers thick and swaggering rock music that’s draped across the chassis of Why the Lights Flicker’s 20 tracks.
