Satan Is Real
The husband-and-wife band also announced their new album, Doomed Lovers, a record rooted in old-school country music
Before Charley Crockett nixed a husband-and-wife duo from his tour last week over their use of “satanic imagery,” it’s likely that few had ever heard the name Twin Temple. A cult band (perhaps literally) out of L.A., the group has released throwback rock and doo-wop songs with titles like “Lucifer, My Love” and “Satan’s a Woman.” Apparently that was too much for Crockett and, well, all hell broke loose online: Twin Temple announced they’d been removed from the shows, Crockett defended his decision, and then Jack White got involved, offering Twin Temple an opening slot at one of his upcoming gigs.
Today, vocalist Alexandra James and guitarist Zachary James announced their new album, Doomed Lovers, a project that puts Twin Temple squarely in the throwback-country-music lane. Think less outlaw country and more Patsy Cline. Arriving Oct. 9, Doomed Lovers was produced by Shooter Jennings — who also produced Crockett’s latest albums.
With all this twisted black magic to parse, we Zoomed with Twin Temple, who’ll tour with Danzig later this summer, to talk about the Crockett dustup, whether they’ll accept White’s offer, and whether they really do worship Satan.
