Brooklynites Melissa Livaudais and Busy Gangnes, aka Telepathe, have some pretty cool friends. They're currently on the Mad Decent tour with Diplo, Abe Vigoda, Boy 8-Bit, and dancing junk food, and for their forthcoming debut full-length, they received help from TV on the Radio bandmates Dave Sitek (production) and Kyp Malone (vocals), as well as !!!'s Shannon Funchess (vocals). As far as business associates go, you could do worse.

Telepathe's album is called Dance Mother, and it comes out in these parts February 17 via IAMSOUND. Fans in the UK, mainland Europe, and Australia will have a chance to snap up the record via Cooperative, though there's no word just yet on a release date for those markets. Before all that, you can catch Telepathe on the road in Europe after the Mad Decent tour winds down.
