Release Notes:
--------------
Telegraph offers proof positive that Richard Davies reaches new
creative heights when sparked by the collaborative spirit. While by no
means a dismissal of his other work, this second official solo album is
far and away his most impressive record outside of the one-off Cardinal
project, clear evidence that his fortunes rise and fall in relation to
the company he's keeping. Davies' partner in crime here is former
Flaming Lips guitarist Ronald Jones, who serves as co-producer,
multi-instrumentalist and occasional co-songwriter; bringing to the
table the same acid-pop grandeur which typified his Lips tenure, Jones
colors Telegraph with a dreamy, vaguely psychedelic patina ideally
suited to Davies' poetic lyrics and clever melodies. Tracks like the
opening "Cantina," "Confederate Cheerio Call" and "Main Street
Electrical Parade" are simply sublime, each a portrait of contemporary
pop at its most perfect. :)
