Telescopic is the second album by Edith Frost.[4] It was released in 1998 through Drag City.[5]

Critical reception

[edit]

No Depression wrote that "with a pure snowfall of distortion, bending, swirling chords, and a cool, clear voice that rises into the stratosphere like a singular, heavenly choir, Edith Frost’s second album, Telescopic, walks the line between tradition and innovation."[6] The Chicago Tribune wrote: "A mix of clean C&W hickory and piquant avant-rock fuzz, Telescopic is an engaging, if less immediate, record that suffers only from its static mood and pacing."[7]
