A Far-Reaching Mental View // Iris Temple's Vistas

“Vista: a view or prospect / an avenue or passage / a far-reaching mental view”

Chicago

(by way of Kansas City)

duo Iris Temple

have been a buzzworthy,

multi-faceted act

since they impressed

in 2016

with their four song

Duality EP.

With a handful

of selective features

(and a loose single)

in between,

Iris Temple are back

eight months later

with a new three song EP

Vistas.

The lead single "Theatre"

launched last Monday

and now the full release

is available

for proper digestion.

From the hypnotic "Theatre"

to the atmospheric

(see also: woozy) "Typhoon"

to the electrified "Parade",

the eleven minute project

is a tornado of talent.

Vocalist Aura

(who also does the artwork)

unravels a plethora

of poetic lyricism

while multi-instrumentalist

and vocalist Quinn Cochran

provides backdrops,

guitar solos,

and falsetto daydreams.

It's hard to pick a favorite

between the three

dense numbers,

which means Iris Temple

is doing something right.

Vistas

arrives just in time

for summer to launch;

fittingly so, as this project

is perfect for a weekend drive.

If you're down

for the Temple,

you can grab a shirt

or a hat right here.
