Биография

"Redshift" is the first album by the psychedelic rock band "Temple Garden". Formed in Austin, TX after moving from Canton, OH in 2019, "Redshift" is the culmination of the music written and self-produced during 2020's lockdown by the band. Temple Garden was formed when brothers Eric and Brandon Carbenia (Firmament) joined with James Cosner to create new music in their home studio in Austin. The release of the 13 track album is accompanied by a 4 part "radio drama" mini-series inspired by the "golden age of radio" and radio plays like those by Orson Welles and others. The release of the album is also supported by a music video for "Redshift" and several 360-degree listening videos that put you in the driver's seat of the patrol ship as you listen through the album's leading singles "Redshift" and "Vacuum Sky". The sci-fi concept of both the album and radio play follows a space patrolman named "Miro" who is exiled from a galactic armada due to a forbidden romance with his patrol ship's AI guidance system. He goes on a series of adventures through the universe as he flees the terrible "Galactik Kommandoh" and seeks a way to hide from the all-seeing eye of the "Matrioshka Brain", a supercomputer the size of a planet that monitors the universe for the armada. Musically, Temple Garden takes influence from everything from modern psychedelic rock like Tame Impala and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard to classic progressive rock groups such as King Crimson and Magma.
