Description:
Luke Temple first hit the indie scene in 2005 with his full-length debut Hold a Match for a Gasoline World, a sweet acoustic-based album that triggered immediate comparisons to Elliot Smith and Jeff Buckley. With his second release Snowbeast, Temple has turned his sound inside-out, most notably replacing cozy acoustic guitars with chilly analog synths. Predictable, no. Fascinating, yes indeed. Temple is a true modern renaissance man; classically trained painter and self-taught singer-songwriter. (Mill Pond)
