Trouser Press Hails Red Temple Spirits’ Sound

Trouser Press has an entry on Red Temple Spirits, who are at radio now with albums reissued via Independent Project Records. According to the zine, “Los Angeles quartet Red Temple Spirits skillfully mixes tribal post-punk influences — mid-period Cure, Savage Republic, early (Death) Cult — with a loving dose of lysergic psychedelia (Syd Barrett and Roky Erickson are particular touchstones). Bassist Dino Paredes (formerly of Psi-Com, with Perry Farrell) and guitarist Dallas Taylor coax entrancing drones and pulses from their instruments with judicious use of echo and other effects, while shamanistic frontman William Faircloth (a colorful immigrant from Britain’s original ’60s psychedelic movement) delves into mysticism (Native American on the first album, Tibetan on the second) with a grace and passion rarely seen before… Dancing to Restore an Eclipsed Moon is an astonishing debut.”
