Autotelic is the new album from LAPÊCHE and was recorded in Joshua Tree, California with producer Alex Newport (At The Drive-In, Bloc Party, Death Cab for Cutie). The title, which refers to doing something for its own sake, is reflected in the material on the album, which is often dreamlike, deeply emotional, and always memorable. Although the band formed in Brooklyn, the Diems have since moved to the Western United States, where they spoke from for this conversation.
