Twin Temple

Twin Temple is a Los Angeles duo that formed in 2014 around Alexandra James and Zachary James. Their music pulls from 1960s garage and psychedelic rock, with nods to bands like The Doors and The Velvet Underground, but gives it a darker, occult-themed twist. They've released two albums: a self-titled debut in 2018 and 'Ritual in the Dark' in 2022.

Their songs often lean into ritualistic and supernatural imagery, with titles like 'I Am a Witch,' 'Satan's a Woman,' and 'Lucifer, My Love.' The band's live shows are theatrical, built around Alexandra's commanding vocals and stage presence, backed by Zachary's atmospheric guitar work.

Some listeners have taken issue with their embrace of occult symbolism, reading it as promotion of Satanism or black magic. Twin Temple has generally responded that the music comes from a place of personal spirituality rather than literal doctrine.
