Newly formed instrumental outfit Temporary Blessings have just dropped 'Goblin Mode', a devastating uptempo stormer from their forthcoming debut album Sumbisori.
Led by stalwart trumpet player/composer Liam McGorry, Temporary Blessings assembled to realise McGorry’s compositions drawing on 1960s Italian and French soundtrack music, bringing together trusted instrumentalists and fellow travelers from Melbourne’s rich enclave of cinematic soul.
The recordings, produced by College Of Knowledge in-house producer Henry Jenkins, bring together emotive string arrangements, tough horns and a steadfast rhythm section with an acute attention to detail McGorry has developed over years in the saddle. A veteran of Melbourne/Naarm soul, McGorry’s steady hands have touched some of the city’s most revered projects over the last 15 years; McGorry-led projects Saskwatch, Dorsal Fins and Ex-Olympian sit aside Sampa The Great, Ella Thompson and Adrian Eagle on Liam’s list of credits and collaborators.
To celebrate Sumbisori's release via College Of Knowledge Records on December 5, the band stop by PBS for an exclusive Studio 5 Live session. Tune in to The Breakdown on Friday December 19 to hear Temporary Blessings live, plus an interview with DJ Manchild.
