Created during "one of the darkest periods of our lives", Twin Temple's new album DOOMED LOVERS is dropping in October and they've also shared its title track.
Twin Temple are back with a new album, DOOMED LOVERS, and shared its gorgeous new title track.
Produced by Shooter Jennings at the famed Studio 3 at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, the album will arrive on October 9 via the band’s own Pentagrammaton Records.
"We poured everything into this new record that we made with Shooter,” the band say. “We wanted to push ourselves creatively and expand the production further than we have before, drawing inspiration from the lush orchestral productions of Roy Orbison, The Ronettes, and The Shangri-Las, and added in some Countrypolitan flair. We brought in some incredible musicians like Matt Chamberlain and Jay Bellerose, and a 37-piece orchestra. We wanted to make something as beautiful as we possibly could- of course with our dark spin on things.”
They add: “The truth is, this album was made during one of the darkest periods of our lives. We had been struggling with grief, health issues, addiction, and depression. But day by day, going into Sunset Sound, making music with incredible people who believed in us, and being surrounded by that creativity slowly brought us back to life. We started smiling and laughing again. I was becoming alive again. It connected us to why we fell in love with music in the first place and became our most personal album yet."

Twin Temple’s name has been in the news recently after country singer Charley Crockett dropped them from a tour over their use of Satanic imagery. Shortly after, they were picked up by Jack White to open for him in Hollywood on September 29.
Accepting the invitation, vocalist Alexandra James writes: “Lifelong fans- dead leaves on the dirty ground was one of the first songs I (Alex) ever learned on guitar. We were actually planning on coming to this show. It would be a most infernal pleasure to play the devil’s music with you.”
