T.R. Burge & The Temple announce debut album

T.R. Burge & The Temple have announced their first LP, Godache, out November 6. The most recent single, 'This Bird Is Flown', has been released.

Bassist and keyboardist Frederic Lyenn Jacques brings a decade of experience from his time in Mark Lanegan's band. The other members are T.R. Burge (vocals, acoustic guitar), Aninka Rosa (violin, vocals) and Pete Leaver (drums).

A Manchester band, the members met and record in Berlin. Their sound has been called gothic Americana meets alt-rock.

"The lyrics relate to a dream I had in which a woman was standing on the edge of a promenade of some kind, looking out at the ocean", said T.R. Burge of the new single.

"She looked as if she was mourning the loss of something. Someone who had left. It was a very vivid and emotionally charged image. The rest of the imagery in the song then built around this.

"When recording this song at Klangbild studios in Berlin, Pete, our drummer; Liam, our mate/technician; and I had the best day ever, drinking some beers and listening to Martin J. Fiedler and Aninka create, play and overlay the violin parts. It was heaven. I'll never forget hearing that in the moment come to life."

The band's debut single, 'Eagle Fly', featured Tobias Humble, who has since joined Brian Jonestown Massacre.
