luke temple + eliot krimsky // suffer

Perhaps 2013 will go down as the year of  White Soul. There has been a fistful of acts and artists channeling their inner-soul man for all to hear. From James Blake, How To Dress Well, Hayden James, Shy Girls, Basecamp, and Mayer Hawthorne just to name a few (notice I omitted J. Timberlake and Robin Thicke). And to add to the high quality fray there is Luke Temple (forerunner to all previously mentioned artists). Listen to his collabo with fellow bandmate Eliot Krimsky on the track Suffer. This timeless Curtis Mayfield cover is steeped in the deep depths of the nostalgic magic that was the late 60’s and 70’s soul music. The track Suffer was performed and perfected in Temple’s live show, and it is an appropriate preview of Luke’s new solo album, Good Mood Fool out October 15th courtesy of Secretly Canadian. The new album showcases Temple at his most minimalistic best, utilizing only his voice, a drum machine, a bass guitar, and a Juno-1 synth to produce the soulfully bare and sultry sounds of his fifth solo album. Peace.
