Sub Pop Enters Into Creative Partnership With Seattle Band, Telehealth

Today, Wednesday, February 25th, Sub Pop is announcing that we have entered into a new creative partnership with Seattle band Telehealth. Built on trust and honest communication, both partners have aligned their objectives, ensuring that the collaboration will help them reach their individual and joint goals of global domination.
 
It is in this spirit that we are also announcing that Telehealth will release Green World Image, their full-length label debut, on CD/LP/all DSPs worldwide on Friday, May 15th, from Sub Pop. Also today, they are sharing an official video for their inaugural single, “Cool Job,” directed by bandmember, Alexander Attitude.
 
Telehealth shares this about the song: “‘Cool Job’ pulls from meme culture pastiche and ‘Temporary Secretary’ trope to skewer the fantasy that the right job will save your life. Written mid-burnout, it’s an anti-work anthem about corporate rot, identity collapse, and trying to care about meetings that could have been emails while everything else is falling apart!!!! The video supports and contrasts the song by documenting the (extremely profitable!!!!) surreal act of touring and creating (/attempting) joy as the world unravels - stitched from internet-found clips and camcorder footage from our 2025 south(east) tour, filtered through modern brain-rot, simulation/simulacra VHS corporate aesthetics.”

Telehealth was forged in the opportunity-rich environment of post-COVID Seattle as a scalable music startup with similar goals. Co-founded in 2022 by married couple and fellow gambling enthusiasts Alexander Attitude (synths/vox/guitar) and Kendra Cox (synths/vox), and joined by longtime collaborators Ian McCutcheon (drums), John O’Connor (bass), and Dillon Sturtevant (guitar), the group aims to financialize any difference of opinion over how the in-shambles local “music scene” should proceed.
 
Also announced today is a new, 19-date North American headline tour in support of Green World Image. Beginning on April 26th in Cleveland, OH, this routing will find the band performing in major and secondary markets, including Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, Reno, and Phoenix.

The Kalshi app is a “prediction market for trading the future,” a platform allowing users to gamble on the outcome of almost any real-world event — from the accuracy of the weather forecast, to whether or not famine will officially be declared in Gaza. Joining CNN as the network’s official betting partner in late 2025, platform co-founder Tarek Mansour was quoted after the deal saying, “The long-term vision is to financialize everything and create a tradeable asset out of any difference in opinion.”

Telehealth was forged in the opportunity-rich environment of post-COVID Seattle as a scalable music startup with similar goals. Co-founded in 2022 by married couple and fellow gambling enthusiasts Alexander Attitude (synths/vox/guitar) and Kendra Cox (synths/vox), and joined by longtime collaborators Ian McCutcheon (drums), John O’Connor (bass), and Dillon Sturtevant (guitar), the group aims to financialize any difference of opinion over how the in-shambles local “music scene” should proceed.

Can you be DIY and have good SEO? Can one earn progressive cultural cachet and hard cash at the same time? Is art funded by tech industry “culture grants” kind of a bummer, authentically gorpcore (young men are embracing the “quarter-zip lifestyle” according to the New York Times), or ironically punk? For Telehealth, the answer to these questions aren’t yes or no, but rather, an untapped gap in the music market waiting for a band visionary and unhinged enough to bet on the spread. Green World Image, Telehealth’s sophomore LP and its IPO with angel investors Sub Pop, is a vertically-integrated artwork for the post-grunge, post-flannel Seattleite, and consumers around the globe who are also ready to financialize their own passion for music.

Trauma-informed, results-driven, and eminently danceable, the weirdo punk record is inspired by Attitude’s tenure as a former architect in a Climate Pledged™ city that has perfected the art of “Green World” architecture with its network of efficiently zoned 5-over-1s. Telehealth’s PNW post-punk creates similar architectural spaces, where the gleaming, futuristic, tech-industrial rhythms and synths of Bezos-era Seattle commingle with the raw, independent, underground sound the city lovingly preserves for cultural texture and marketing purposes. The outcome? Think XTC, REM, and YMO with a stronger focus on ROI. Imagine The B-52s, but B2B. Envision a bigger-brained Brainiac, a transhuman Gary Numan, or a terminally online Pylon. Finally, a band with assets diverse enough to play in your basement or the Amazon Spheres.

Green World Image is a sweaty journey through the anxiety- and profit-inducing system Telehealth inhabits and critiques at the same time, sold back to listeners as an absurd art rock slice of strife. “Donor Country (A gOoD cAuSe)” is a shimmering, arpeggiated ode to the generous sponsors who keep Telehealth on life support, while “Cool Job” soundtracks the band members’ efforts to secure decent benefits with ass-slapping percussion and nervy bass lines. “Things I’ve Killed” transforms a millennial hit list into a propulsive synth punk wormhole, and “Yassify Me” dresses up the carnage with a ring light and a wellness routine, simultaneously weaponizing therapy-speak and new wave. Produced by Trevor Spencer, the record follows Telehealth’s 2023 debut LP Content Oscillator and Sub Pop Singles Club release “Mindtrap/Bitter Melody.”
