The third album from Oslo-based Doom/Psych trio Superlynx is both a continuation of what they've been doing before and a further development into moods not previously explored. The tragic death of a close family member has also made a deep mark on the album.The title of the album is a reference to Jimi Hendrix´ way of looking at music. InchHe said InchWe call our music 'electric church music.. Because it's like a religion to us.Inch And that is much like how we feel about ours. In music we find so much of what people seek in temples, religions or other spiritual forms - strength to endure trials, peace of mind, ecstasy, safety, hope, community, joy, transcendence etc. In the process of writing our third album this truth only become clearer to us. Music is our templeInchThe album is mixed by multiple Grammy Award winning producer Marc Urselli, who has done sound for Nick Cave, Mike Patton, Lou Reed, Keith Richards, The Black Crowes and countless more.
