Bleep

Thao & The Get Down Stay Down, the San Francisco-based band fronted by singer and songwriter Thao Nguyen, is set to release their fifth studio album ‘Temple’ via Ribbon Music.

Thao teamed up with longtime bandmate Adam Thompson, who also shares writing credits on five songs, to create the first Get Down Stay Down self-produced record.

‘Temple’ was then mixed by Mikaelin “Blue” Bluespruce (Solange, Carly Rae Jepsen, Mariah Carey) who helped create a sound that was more filled out and immersive.

The album is among Thao’s most open and honest work yet, finding her coming out in her public life after a long career in which she kept her queer identity quiet in an effort to avoid turmoil with and alienation from a family and culture she deeply loves.
