Description

Temple of Angels’ debut full-length, Endless Pursuit, is a towering and stunning album of gothic beauty that heralds the proper arrival
of one of the most dazzling bands performing right now. Shaped by the ghosts of the past and the wonder of the present, the release
is dream pop at its most striking, using the haze and beauty of the genre not to blur songs til they are impenetrable in every sense, but rather to capture the fleeting wonder of new love and emphasize the confusion and disorientation of loss.

Formed in 2017 in Austin, Texas, Avery Burton (guitar/vocals), Patrick Todd (drums/vocals), and Cole Tucker (guitar) had all played in various hardcore and punk bands around town for years, but were keen to explore the dreamier, moodier music they enjoyed as well.
After recording a few demos, they recruited Bre Morell (vocals) to be their lead singer. The new group self-releasing two EPs–2017’s
Temple of Angels and 2018’s Foiled–and a single on Funeral Party Records in 2019, and were soon performing with the likes of Beach Fossils, Iceage, Narrow Head, and Turnover as well as at festivals like Levitation and Not Dead Yet.

Endless Pursuit navigates between emotional highs and lows with a dreamlike complexity. The title track starts with an eerie lumber
that opens the record, with shimmering, spider-like guitar lines and Morell’s hushed vocals swirling together into an echoing trance.
That’s followed immediately with “Tangled In Joy”, a song that finds the band at their brightest and catchiest, an avalanche of jangling
guitar chords and vocals at their sweetest, swelling and cascading over each other. It’s fitting that Endless Pursuit ends with “(For
You) I’d Lose It All,” a track that’s as grandiose and gigantic as The Chameleons at their peak and possibly Temple of Angels’ most
anthemic song to date. With Todd taking center stage on vocals, out pours a tale of desire so intense it consumes every part of your
being, matched by a thunderous rhythm section, and amplified into the heavens by soaring keyboards in the chorus. It closes the
record with an almost defiant feeling; a refusal to ignore something wonderful even if it may just end in more sorrow.
