"Telescopes" is an EP by Waking Ashland, released on February 8 2006 in Japan through the band's Japanese record label Fabtone Records. The U.S. version, featuring different artwork, was released on June 13 2006 through Immortal Records. The EP contains seven new songs and an enhanced CD portion with video footage of two songs performed live in Japan ("Long Shot" and "Let Go"). In addition to being released four months earlier, the Japanese version also carries two acoustic versions of songs from Waking Ashland's 2005 album "Composure" as bonus tracks.

As "Telescopes" was recorded in-between line-up changes, singer/pianist Jonathan Jones and guitarist Ryan Lallier were accompanied for the recording session by Kelpie's Nathan Harold on bass and Sherwood's Joe Greenetz on drums.
