The Neurophonic Temple - "Transgressive Sonic Stimuli"

 

What does a saltwater trout hallucinate when swimming through toxic chemical waste? 

The visuals are anyone's guess, but one thing is for certain: The Neurophonic Temple, a psychedelic noise rock trio from Osnabrück, provides the perfect soundtrack for this very specific situation. 

While it's true that this group delivers the best of two worlds - the euphonious chaos of noise rock and the mind-bending albeit soothing tones of psychedelia, all cranked up deliciously loud - there's so much more going on here. 

The Neurophonic Temple - Transgressive Sonic Stimuli 

In fact, pressing "play" on The Neurophonic Temple's new album Transgressive Sonic Stimuli feels a lot like diving into a lava lamp with reckless abandon. You'll be moved about by fluid, warm grooves via mesmeric bass lines, captivated by flashing lights of adaptive percussion, and transfixed by a kaleidoscope of resplendent guitar tones as you move between a state of acute alertness and contended trance. 

To be a bit more specific, the five tracks of Transgressive Sonic Stimuli vacillate between loud, tumultuous grooves (heard on opening track Nuance of Bizarre), sensual, soulful sounds (as on Sea of Bornite), a more acidic, untamed style of psychedelic rock (heard on Consciential Paradigms), trippy, jazz-inspired atmospheres (demonstrated on Chrome Magnet), and vast, meditative soundscapes (as on final track Floral Architectures). However, no matter which direction a Neurophonic Temple song takes you, it's sure to be filled with some of the most colorful, immersive tones you've heard in the underground scene. This is a band whose sound possesses an organic, improvisational quality as well as discernible sharpness and acuity. Taken together, these seemingly contrasting qualities result in an intense sonic journey whose destination is everywhere and nowhere all at once.
