WE ARE TEMPORARY

About WE ARE TEMPORARY

We Are Temporary is the wired and weird brainchild of Brooklyn’s Mark Roberts. Signed to Germany’s cult label Trisol, his distinct style of contemporary darkwave is as much the result of a musical obsession as a philosophical one. With boldly confessional lyrics and vocal deliveries funneled through nightfall beats and orchestral synths, We Are Temporary draws from a wide range of musical influences: future beats, witch house, dream pop, post-rock, vintage industrial, hip hop, ambient, minimal techno, and classical music.

Featured in outlets such as Noisey, Orkus, Complex and many more, his sound and production sensibilities have been compared to bands like Fever Ray, Crystal Castles, Gazelle Twin, M83, Active Child, early Skinny Puppy, and “Depeche Mode at their most raw”.
