Sputnik Music Describes Red Temple Spirits

Independent Project Records is at radio now with two reissues from Red Temple Spirits, a unique band from the college rock era in the late 1980s. Sputnik Music describes the band thusly: “Brilliant guitarist and Alabama native Dallas ‘Spartacus’ Taylor and bassist Dino Paredes (a former UCLA philosophy major of Apache ancestry) coaxed entrancing drones and pulses from their instruments with judicious use of echo and other effects, layered atop Thomas Pierik’s skillful drumming, while shamanistic frontman William Faircloth (a colorful immigrant from Britain’s original Sixties psychedelic movement) delved into mysticism (Native American on the first album, Tibetan on the second) with a grace and passion rarely seen before, complimented by his distinctively tremulous pagan wail.”
