A moment for an artist to make their grand statement amid the excess of four sides of vinyl. And yet, there is not one double LP that escapes the curse of filler: \"Wah-Wah\" on All Things Must Pass, \"Night Flight\" on Physical Graffiti, \"Piggies\" on the White Album, \"Angel\" on Tusk, etc. In 2016, Schlarb opened BIG EGO, a commercial recording studio in the same Long Beach neighborhood he grew up in. There he produced everyone from Terry Reid and James Gadson to Swamp Dogg and Jim Keltner. A year later he began work on Houses of the Holy: his own attempt at solving modern rock's great puzzle.\r\n\r\nHis solution was to take over four existing bands and lead them into the realm of Psychic Temple.\r\n\r\nRecorded in the Joshua Tree desert, Schlarb and Cherry Glazerr (Side A) deliver five whiskey fueled songs of love, madness, and suicide. Reunited after almost 20 years, the legendary Chicago Underground Trio (Side B) wrap their unmistakable sound around songs written by Schlarb and co-writers Jerry David DeCicca and James Jackson Toth. On the precipice of entering their fourth decade as one the world's great rock bands, Dream Syndicate (Side C) explode when plugged into the Psychic Temple Universe. As euphoric closer, the words of cosmic street poet Xololanxinxo (Side D) are supported by the album's largest ensemble featuring a full orchestra, double rhythm section, and gospel choir.\r\n\r\nThese four brilliant sides are the only Houses of the Holy that one ever need visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet Me Comb Your Hair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e If There's Kindness in the World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e This World Don't Mean Shit Without You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e (Who's Selling You) Conspiracy?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e One Solution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Meditation for Strings Piccolo Trumpet and Overdraft Fees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Your Dreams Don't Pay My Bills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lightning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Little One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dream State \u0026gt; Police State (Revisited)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love Falls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Why Should I Wait?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cherry Avenue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Then Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e On The Slide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e When Do You Reign?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Streets of Art\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e El Caro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Odessey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e In This Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57421337297231,"sku":"753936906112","price":5.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/8725\/2047\/files\/3842987-2585178.jpg?v=1775635534","url":"https:\/\/vibesvinyl.com\/products\/psychic-temple-houses-of-the-holy","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
