Members: Chris Schlarb

American psychedelic folk/rock group founded in 2010 by Chris Schlarb, and based in Long Beach, California.

Psychic Temple explored avant-jazz territories before pivoting toward folk and soul music on Psychic Temple II. After touring the country with various lineups, a working band took shape around Schlarb’s newfound voice and electric guitar work, perfectly anchored by Tabor Allen’s lyrics and foundational drumming. III saw the group augmented by collaborators new and old, including Avi Buffalo drummer Sheridan Riley, Minutemen bassist Mike Watt, and jazz trumpeter Kris Tiner.
