SCAP012 - LP
Details
The Peoples Temple, who debuted in 2011 with the acclaimed “Sons of Stone” LP on HoZac Records, releases its fourth full-length LP “Weekends Time” in October via State Capital Records. This is the Lansing, Mich.-based band’s second full-length album of 2014. The blistering new disc includes r-n-r meltdowns like “Human Cancer,” but also shows notable progression in the band’s pop sensibilities and song arrangements with tracks like “Ones Forgotten,” “How Long” and “William’s Song.” Aside from the seven originals, two cuts are Ariel Pink covers. “Weekends Time” was recorded live in the studio in just three days, a first for the band. The LP cover may have Beach Boys inspired album art, but the tracks lean closer to Big Star, Rolling Stones and Velvet Underground . “I traveled to Michigan to record them for a few days,” said Dan Hewitt, owner of State Capital Records, a New York-based label. “What ended up happening was the full-fledged nine-track LP you have before you. As for recording, we tracked the whole thing to my 8-track. A lot of vintage mics were utilized. It was mixed at my home studio on an old console and even more vintage compressors and EQs were employed,” Hewitt added.
