"Telegraph Melts (a.k.a. Amy Domingues and Bob Massey) show how powerful an amped cello and electric guitar can be. The a-side is a study in increasing tension, the sound of a rubber band being stretched to the width of a football field."
Dave Segal Alternative Press
"Arlington, VA's Amy Domingues and Bob Massey, who also play with Tsunami, combine forces on this debut single to show what an amped cello and electric guitar are capable of when played together. The result is a harsh ambience that borders on the avant-garde."
Stacy Osbaum Magnet Magazine
"...Telegraph Melts meld metal with melodies and riffs with rubatos in a way that recalls mathematicians like Slint and Breadwinner...."
Christopher Porter Washington City Paper
"Cellos are the best trend happening in indie rock and Telegraph Melts is at the forefront of correct use. Massive props to orchestral challenges and the people that pull them off. When reviewing records I try to stay away from phrases and urgings like 'This band needs to be huge' or 'Go buy this,' but bands like Telegraph Melts are few and far between and earn phrases like those to be piled on their every musical utterance."
Jessica Hopper - Hit It Or Quit It
"Like sibling rivalry the twisting arguments created by the two instruments are out of love. Rivalry pushed these to excel. Both songs ebb and flow interrupted by curious changes. Changes in direction of thought like a stirring, reeling unsure mind grasping for an understood language of symbolic intercourse. Sound intercourse. The male guitar, the female cello intertwined in a passionate acute embrace. Finally."
Keith York - Mod Magazine
"A plug also for the excellent 'Heilsgeschichte' b/w 'Goodbye No. 20' on no particular label but housed in a chunky Fireproof Press sleeve, from Telegraph Melts."
