Psychic Temple, the brainchild of American composer, guitarist, and vocalist Chris Schlarb, embodies a fusion of rock, jazz, pop, and avant-garde. Emerging from Long Beach, California, Schlarb founded Psychic Temple in 2010 as a platform for his eclectic musical pursuits, moving beyond the genres and styles to create something wholly original and constantly evolving. The project's name itself encapsulates Schlarb's vision of a communal space for exploratory and spiritual musical experiences, drawing in a revolving cast of talented collaborators from the indie rock, jazz, and experimental music scenes.

Psychic Temple's discography is a testament to Schlarb's boundless creativity and his ability to blend disparate sounds into cohesive, unexpected musical journeys. From the serene and introspective "Plays Music for Airports," reimagining Brian Eno's ambient masterpiece, to the genre-bending covers project "Houses of the Holy," and the expansive, original compositions of "A Universe Regards Itself" and "Doggie Paddlin’ Thru The Cosmic Consciousness," Psychic Temple refuses to be pigeonholed. With each release, Schlarb and his collaborators invite listeners to join them in navigating the vast, uncharted territories of the musical landscape, making Psychic Temple a unique and enduring fixture in the contemporary music scene.
