Psychic Temple IV Black Vinyl Edition

Records like Psychic Temple IV aren't made anymore. Maybe they never were. There
is a magic present that some mistake for "tubes" or "tape" but it's no more
complicated than putting the right musicians together with the right songs. Produced
and composed by band/cult leader Chris Schlarb, Psychic Temple IV was recorded in
Los Angeles over a series of eight large scale sessions. In the spirit of the classic
Wrecking Crew sessions for Phil Spector and the Beach Boys, the band was often
tasked with recording four songs per session. Vocals were added as soon as the
rhythm section tracks were cut with British rock legend Terry Reid, Arlene
Deradoorian, and Nedelle Torrisi joining Chris in the studio to work out harmony
parts and sing live together. Schlarb's melodies are soulful yet unpredictable, and yet
the exploratory spirit of the first Psychic Temple album still abides. The music has
been poured over with both care and abandon. There is magic in Psychic Temp le IV.
It's no more complicated than that.
