For the past 5 years, we’ve been playing TEMPLE OF ANGELS‘s 2018 EP to death, hoping that our favorite dream pop band would release a new record. So we’re beyond happy that they just announced that their debut album Endless Pursuit is coming out on July 14th via Run For Cover Records — pre-order it here. This record takes me through all the stages of human emotion, from grief to elation. Bre’s voice — probably one of my favorite human voices I’ve ever heard — is a sonic vehicle transporting me out of the physical realm and into the spiritual one. Learning that the record takes inspiration from her experience of losing her mom makes it even deeper for me as someone who’s also experienced that loss, and the feeling of being orphaned even among my living family. Despite the ongoing pain, it’s not an experience I would take back, and I think the lessons, growth, and hope shines through in Temple of Angels’ angelic sound. Check out their first single from the album, “Tangled In Joy,” below, and let Temple of Angels lift your spirits…
I started having extremely vivid nightmares reliving certain experiences with my mom that started to take over my life, trapping me in that trauma. The constant feeling that something or someone so essential to you is missing, home doesn’t feel like home anymore, and something about this world just feels off now.
