The hypnotic French electronic group Telepopmusik performed twice at the Kamelot-Fusion Club in Israel on April 17th and 19th in collaboration with the French Embassy. The band came for ten days to promote their new album 'Angel Milk'.

Telepopmusik attained international exposure thanks to the hit single 'Breathe' taken from their first album 'Genetic World' released in 2001. The album, which sold approx. 250,000 copies worldwide, received critical acclaim following nominations at the French Grammies - Les Victoires de la Musique - and the US Grammy Awards. The band was awarded for "Breathe" at the BMI European Awards in October 2004.

The band's composition "I am looking for love" track listed on the current Janet Jackson's album 'Damita'.

Recently, the trio has been busy working on solo projects: Fabrice Dumont wrote the original soundtrack for Catherine Corsini’s La Repetition, Christophe Hetier, aka Antipop, has appeared on several movie mixes and DJ sets, while Stephan Haeri, AKA 2Square has recorded his first solo album.

Despite this, nothing has come between the three artists and their creative collective, as reflected in their second daredevil album Angel Milk, which features singers Angela McCluskey (signed to Blue Note/EMI with current solo album "The Things We Do"), Mau (former member of Earthling and Dirty Beatnicks) and Deborah Anderson, who is known for her work with Mo Wax and DJ Shadow.

Anderson's voice gives Angel Milk a post-pop feel that allows listeners to slip smoothly into the world of this multi-instrumentalist trio. It is difficult not to be seduced by the shimmering harmonies of the first track, "Don't Look Back", a wonderful ballad by McCluskey, or not to get entangled in the web of "Stop Running Away" (Track 2) with Deborah Anderson. The third track, "Anyway", featuring Mau, is a perfect post-clubbing pop track, while "Into Everything" is mesmerizing. Elsewhere on the album, other atmospheric influences come to the surface (Gershwin, Yma Sumac) without jeopardizing the originality of the music.

Angel Milk (Catalogue-Capitol/EMI) was released in Japan on February 12th and in France, Belgium and Switzerland on February 22nd. It will be available in other European territories and the USA at the end of May 2005.
