about
Red Temple Spirits' unique blend of gothic post-punk sounds with pagan tribal psychedelia was one of the highlights of Los Angeles' late 1980's underground music scene. The band's two albums, Dancing To Restore An Eclipsed Moon and If Tomorrow I Were Leaving For Lhasa, I Wouldn’t Stay a Minute More... were originally released in 1988 and 1989 and sound like nothing else from the period. Independent Project Records re-issued both albums with bonus material in a very special limited edition CD package in 2013, and now with IPR's new distribution arrangement with Darla these tracks are widely available digitally as well. The Soft Machine is one of the most compelling songs from their second LP, and showcases the powerful songwriting capabilities of this essential group.

Beautifully crafted tracks with a lot of heart. So happy they were reissued on vinyl with the IPR work of art packaging and available for streaming here on BC. Thanks Half String! slowdive_fan

First off I’m unbelievably excited this recording exists. Bonus is this label rules. So much care put into the packaging, fair pricing, postcards, and the ever important handwritten thanks. Peace, love, and take care. Your efforts on this document are greatly appreciated! popetones
“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
