Telemakus, the LA-based musician and producer known for his unique approach to music-making, has announced his highly anticipated new album, Eight Ring Revival, featuring a host of renowned artists. The 26-year-old Indian-American artist, who has been battling Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, relies on eight silver rings to support his finger joints, a condition that has forced him to adapt his musical techniques.
His debut album, Calantha, was released in 2018, and now, Eight Ring Revival promises to push the boundaries of his creative process even further. Collaborating with a diverse lineup of musicians, including GENA partners Liv.e and Karriem Riggins, Flying Lotus, Sparklmami, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, and Nicole McCabe, Telemakus' album showcases the power of musical partnerships and the transformative nature of limitation.
The lead single, "2054," is a funky, squelchy instrumental track featuring Riggins on drums and multi-instrumentalist Chino Corvalán. Directed by Mackai Sharp, the music video captures Telemakus in the role of an old-school glamorous airline pilot. Eight Ring Revival is set to drop on October 20th through Good Problem Studios.
