Twin Temple announce new album 'Doomed Lovers' and share new single 'Haunt Me' • GRIMM Gent

Los Angeles-based husband-and-wife duoTwin Temple have announced details of their third record, DOOMED LOVERS which is released on 23rd October via their own Pentagrammaton Records.

Coming on the hot heels of their latest controversy, having been abruptly removed from shows recently by country music artist Charley Crockett for their Satanic imagery, leading to a public invitation to the band from Jack White to support him in Hollywood at the Palladium this September, Twin Temple have shared the latest track from the album, ‘Haunt Me’. This follows previous single, the title track, ‘Doomed Lovers’

Discussing ‘Haunt Me’, Twin Temples Alexandra and Zachary James said:

‘Haunt Me’ is a gothic love song about fear, obsession, dread and jealousy, with nods to classic American gospel, 1960s rock n roll and the blues. It romanticizes the terrifying nightmares your lover brings, and the paradox of never wanting them to stop haunting you.

DOOMED LOVERS marks Twin Temple‘s boldest chapter yet. Produced by GRAMMY Award-winning producer Shooter Jennings at the iconic Studio 3 at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, the album continues the band’s commitment to classic analog recording while expanding its sonic palette with lush orchestral arrangements performed by a 37-piece orchestra.

Born from one of the darkest periods in the band’s personal lives, DOOMED LOVERS is their most intimate and emotionally revealing work to date. Expanding the cinematic scope of their unmistakable sound while remaining rooted in the timeless traditions of early rock ‘n’ roll, the album stands as the band’s most ambitious and fully realized artistic statement yet.

Regarding the record, Twin Temple adds,

“We poured everything into this new record that we made with Shooter. 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.”

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.“

The track listing of the album is as follows:

Doomed Lovers
Possessed
I Want Blood
Love You To Death
Haunt Me
Someone In The Walls
Monster
Nothing Matters

Too bold for some, irresistible for others, Twin Temple have become cultural provocateurs and one of music’s most talked about crossover acts. They have garnered widespread coverage from publications including Rolling Stone, NME,Billboard, American Songwriter, Stereogum, Consequence, Revolver, Kerrang!, Metal Hammer, Loudwire, SF Chronicle, LA Times, and countless others, intrigued by their uncompromising artistic vision, and sparking conversations about artistic freedom, religious freedom, freedom of expression, censorship, and the role of controversy in art, and on a broader sense, the wider role art plays within the cultural landscape.

In an era of imitation, Twin Temple remains wholly original; a band that has carved out an entirely new musical subgenre, defied expectations at every turn, and continues to prove that the Devil really does have all the best songs.
