Thao & The Get Down Stay Down - Temple (CD ALBUM (1 DISC))

Thao & The Get Down Stay Down - Temple (CD ALBUM (1 DISC)) Thao & The Get Down Stay Down, the San Francisco-based band fronted by singer and songwriter Thao Nguyen, is set to release their fifth studio album Temple on 15th May via Ribbon Music. In celebration of the upcoming album, the band is debuting the title track alongside a video directed by Jonny Look, featuring choreography by Erin S. Murray. The album is among Thao s most open and honest work yet, finding her coming out in her public life after a long career in which she kept her queer identity quiet, in an effort to avoid turmoil with and alienation from a family and culture she deeply loves. But that shit will kill you. Thao says. Temple is the first Get Down Stay Down record to be self-produced. Thao teamed up with longtime bandmate Adam Thompson to produce the record; he also shares writing credits on five songs. Mikaelin Blue Bluespruce (Solange, Carly Rae Jepsen, Mariah Carey) mixed the record. Blue mixes more in the hip-hop and pop world and that s what we wanted, says Thao. More fidelity, more upfront beat and groove-heavy mixes that are filled out and immersive high highs, low lows, lush tones.
