Coming on the hot heels of their latest controversy the Los Angeles-based husband-and-wife duo Twin Temple announced that their third record, DOOMED LOVERS, for an October 9 release via their own Pentagrammaton Records, sharing the title-track single via all digital platforms. Having been abruptly removed from shows this past week 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, this September, Twin Temple additionally have added a set of headlining shows around their previously announced performances supporting Danzig. Tickets to all headlining dates on-sale to the general public starting Friday [all dates below].
Alexandra and Zachary James spoke with Rolling Stone about the controversy and the record.
Discussing the single, Twin Temple offers, “This is the philosophical centerpiece of the album – a theatrical and confessional take on all or nothing love, the dark side of devotion and centuries old mythic literary Romantic themes. It longs for a love so enduring and eternal that it ultimately consumes, obliterates, and drives one to madness and death. At its core, it asks the question – ‘What happens when your lover dies?’”
But what makes the song unique is that it rejects the conventional and culturally accepted answer… ‘I know I should tell you to find someone new’, in favor of raw, unfiltered and selfish desire, things that would be shameful to speak in mundane reality.”
