Spacemoth – “Telepathic Butterflies”

Cat Coppenrath

These new Spacemoth songs have been fantastic. If you heard "Do We Exist?" and "Internet Fantasy," you know what I mean. Maryam Qudus has one more preview of Inward Eye for us today before the album drops at month's end. And guess what? It's great too.

"Telepathic Butterflies" rides a hypnotic pulse accented by squelchy synths, while Qudus sighs gorgeous melodies amidst the colorful machinery. She recently told Tape Op, "While I was writing these songs, I was also in the midst of archiving VHS home videos of my family. The videos would play in the background while I digitized them in the room adjacent to the studio. I would catch glimpses of my younger self and my family in a different era of our lives, which informed the writing for Inward Eye." That knowledge adds a whole new dimension to the mesmerizing sounds on display here.

Listen below.

Inward Eye is out 6/26 via Greenway. Pre-order it here.
