Philadelphia rock band American Trappist have unveiled their new single "Temple Song" today.

An accompanying music video for the song was filmed by Crosby Clouse at Miner St. Studios. Vocalist Joe Michellini said this about the new track:

"I’ve stopped trying to justify it to myself or figure out why but I’ve always struggled with depression, on and off of medication, in and out of therapy, in relative safety and at risk of compromising my body.

Even now this feels like a lot to share, but is it? Aren’t so many of you also struggling? I see you because I see myself when I am low, and acting against myself.

I also see you when you are high and full of belief in yourself, and full of life and radiant and choosing life.

And I see you in between, trying to find your way to the surface again and again and again and again.

I love you.

Sometimes my body means so much and it is terrifying. Sometimes my body means so much and it is liberating. Sometimes my body means so little and it is liberating.

The words lucky and blessed are so loaded that I have trouble pulling any meaning from them, but I will say by some cosmic arrangement beyond my understanding, from time to time, I have been guided to a little light, and in the best of times have possessed that light and protected that light.

Let me share that with you now: a weird, little candle that won’t burn forever, but maybe enough to serve as a reminder until the next time you find rest.

This song is dedicated to my body, my temple, which against my lesser nature, is still here today."

"Temple Song" comes from American Trappist’s forthcoming studio album Poison Reverse, which will be released on June 9. The 11-track album was recorded by engineer Matt Poirier (The War On Drugs, The National) with mastering done by Alan Douches (Angel Olsen, Ratboys) at West West Side in New York.

On June 10, American Trappist will hold a record release show at Johnny Brenda's with support from Philadelphia experimental pop band Lizdelise and New Jersey indie rock act Teen Idle. Tickets for the show are on sale to the general public right now here.
