London-based psych pop / indie rock band Tempesst have announced the release of their third studio album ‘Forbidden Fruit‘.
The band have also revealed their new single “Long Way Down“, alongside an accompanying music video. The follow-up to last year’s album Prisoner of Desire, will be out on November 29 through Pony Recordings. Pre-order your copy here.
According to the press release, the new album, produced and mixed by Elliot Heinrich, showcases a new sound for Tempesst, shedding their previous Spector-esque production for a modern hi-fi approach. The band maintain a surrealist soundscape with precision, conjuring images of René Magritte: layered sounds within sounds to draw the listener deeper. They lean into chaos, with fuzz-infused, reverb-laden guitars that drone through the record indifferent to harmony, restrained by a swampy rhythm section. Tempesst reach for the bright lights of the expressionist late eighties while descending into the rawness of the early nineties.
Check out the video for “Long Way Down“ below, followed by the album’s artwork and tracklist.
