Marking their 10th Anniversary in 2022, TEMPLE INVISIBLE return with brand new music to share.
Releasing the gripping “Hold” today (11 Feb), it arrives as a first glimpse of the ‘Chiasm’ EP, which will be the band’s first extended release for over 5 years when it arrives on 29 April 2022.
Fusing slinking trip-hop grooves to a track of their trademark industrial intensity, the duo of Irina Bucescu and Costas Ivanov prove they’ve lost none of their bite on their beguiling latest proposition.
TEMPLE INVISIBLE RELEASE NEW SINGLE “HOLD” OUT NOW
NEW EP – ‘CHIASM’ – WILL BE RELEASED 29 APRIL
A track about the inherent inquisitiveness of childhood and the powerful, expressive energy of human instinct, Irina explains:
““Hold” is about transforming our unconscious fascination for the past into the full force of the present moment. It is about the enthrallment that the small child has for his parents, about our perception of the feminine and masculine energies, the essential duality of our psyche, about bringing awareness to our unconscious attachment to our past and the unconscious burden of trying to recreate it. That "force" is our authenticity, which needs to be free from irrational and limiting constraints from our past, in order to bloom. The elation we're talking about means that we don't want to be a "walking life situation", but a living, breathing being. It's no small feat - finding balance. And in that process of deconstruction there is a mixture of first becoming aware of and then releasing aggressiveness, the need to control everything and, eventually, the feeling of loss. This initial "loss" transforms into finding that inner intersection, the chiasm of our true, authentic power and the actions that align with it.”
Striking somewhere between the spheres of Nine Inch Nails and Portishead, “Hold” creeps with sinister intent, Bucescu’s breathless vocals building over industrial beats as if commanding a mighty mechanism with sonic muscularity alone, the malevolent symbiosis of human and machine.
