The two met in high school, but did not begin working on music together until after university studies. Since 1999, Josh and Charlie had been working to cultivate their sound, based largely in electronic music, but that also showed flourishes of classical, vintage soul, ambient drone, and noise, among other things. The group continues as a mostly solo project of Josh Eustis after Charlie Cooper's death in January 2009.
In early 2000, the duo collaborated with Danny Lohner, Trent Reznor, and Alan Moulder on several remixes for Nine Inch Nails's then-to-be-released remix EP, Things Falling Apart. Shortly thereafter, Telefon Tel Aviv resumed work on their debut LP, Fahrenheit Fair Enough, for Chicago's Hefty Records, while at the same time completing the original score for the film Newport South. In 2002, the duo paired with L'Altra's Lindsay Anderson to release an EP featuring the single, Sound In A Dark Room. Work on the sophomore LP, Map Of What Is Effortless, was completed in summer of 2003. On May 15th of 2007, a retrospective of their remix work for other artists was released on Hefty Records. Work on their third LP had been ongoing since late 2006 and wrapped up with the album Immolate Yourself's release on January 20th, 2009.
Over the past few years, together and separately, the duo completed production work for many other artists, including Marc Hellner/Pulseprogramming, L'Altra, The Album Leaf, Apparat, Belong, The Race, and others. They built a studio in Chicago to work on all of their projects.
Charlie Cooper passed away on Thursday 22nd January 2009, after taking an accidental overdose of sleeping pills. Josh Eustis later posted a confirmation on the band's Myspace page and the Telefon Tel Aviv website still shows an epitaph for Cooper. Josh continues to play Telefon Tel Aviv songs live as a duo with close friend Fredo Nogueira, but has said that the future of the band as regards recording new material remains uncertain.
Following this, Joshua would release, (as Telefon Tel Aviv) Map of What Is Effortless (April 2014), (as Sons of Magdalene) Move to Pain (Recorded 2010, released June 2014), Ecumenicals (March 2015), (as Telefon Tel Aviv) Something Akin to Lust (May 2017) and Dreams Are Not Enough (September 2019). After Dreams Are Not Enough, Joshua would release For James, To Sleep to Bandcamp as a "name your price" single.

This record pretty much changed my life. It's an album which tells a story, and in so many ways it is beautiful in shape/sound.
Sergio Calzoni
Such a beautiful album of electronic music!

a true masterpiece.

Mostly translucent seems to me to be a great representation of the feeling of anxiety. Like an artistic example of it. The beat is first brought up to its crescendo in a relaxed fashion, then is repeated. Repeated over and over and heightened. Eventually the sound completely surrounds you and all attention. I dunno, I guess I dorked out —- but it hit a special spot for me. Great album
