Temple of Angels' debut album "Endless Pursuit" out today

US summer tour dates including Sound & Fury

Temple of Angels' debut album, Endless Pursuit, is out today. Across Endless Pursuit's eleven stunning songs the Austin, TX-based four-piece have managed to capture all of the most dazzling and entrancing elements of dream pop while still highlighting the hefty dose of hook-filled songwriting at its core.

Earlier singles "Tangled In Joy," "Waving To The Wind," and "(For You) I'd Lose It All" drew attention from the likes of Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, Austin Chronicle, and more, and now listeners can enjoy the full breadth of Endless Pursuit's dynamic sound. To mark the album's release Temple of Angels have teamed with BrooklynVegan for an in-depth look at the influences that went into the record.

Temple of Angels formed in 2017, emerging from the Texas punk and hardcore scene with a widescreen sound recalling the likes of Cocteau Twins, The Cure, or The Sundays. After releasing a series of EPs and singles, the band have made good on the promise of their early work with Endless Pursuit. The album was recorded with Colin Knight (Death Bells, Fury, Leisure World) and Phillip Odom (Ceremony, Militarie Gun, Portrayal of Guilt), and then mastered by Will Yip (Turnover, Citizen, Title Fight), and sounds so fully formed and assured that it belies the difficult circumstances that inspired it. Throughout the record, Morell reckons with the loss of a parent and its deeply unmooring impact on her life. “I started having extremely vivid nightmares reliving certain experiences with my mom that started to take over my life, trapping me in that trauma,” Morell explains. These dreams, filled with “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” would form the central core of Endless Pursuit.

Temple of Angels are also embarking on a lengthy North American tour scheduled for the summer, starting at the end of the month. See full itinerary below.
