MIKE TEMPLAR - Black Lodge

Swiss synthwave and electro musician, MIKE TEMPLAR unveils his first vocal retro electro offering, Black Lodge, the new single from his upcoming album "Digital Death" which is a fusion of new wave, French house, funk, electronic rock, synthwave and goth. "Black Lodge" is also Mike Templar’s vocal debut. The single is now available on Bandcamp and will be released on major platforms on June 12.

Based on David Lynch's and Mark Frost's "Twin Peaks" series, Black Lodge is a reminder of how easy it is to get swallowed up by the dark side as one forgets to nourish their soul, and a reminder of the value of love and its timeless values. “Fight back and fight off lending energies to narcissists and those who don’t value you and your time, so that the light in all our souls and our successors remains illuminated,” Mike Templar explains. Funky and groovy, dipped in French house, blog house and reminiscent of early Daft Punk and MGMT, Black Lodge surprises with its unique vibe and expressive undulating synth and riveting guitar performances under Templar’s distinctive vocal work.

The full length album “Digital Death” will be released in the summer, featuring vocals from several guest artists, as well as some guitar interludes by Mike Templar himself and a sax solo number by his father.

Known for his nuanced instrumental works, Mike Templar’s musical range and palette transcends several electro genres. His notable works include his dystopian sci-fi electro opera TROM, an 18-track masterpiece featuring lyrics and vocals by Millenium Falck and an accompanying novel about a group of rebels fighting a political federation. His last single prior to Black Lodge and forerunner to his upcoming record, entitled Digital Death showcases more of Mike Templar’s cerebral and prodigious approach to progressive electronic composition.
