"Temperature's Rising" is a fascinating oral history of one of American indie rock's most enduring and influential acts. Slow, deliberate, and deceptively simple, the music of Boston-based band Galaxie 500 was wonderfully at odds with the prevailing underground sounds of the mid-to-late-1980s. The primary contributors are the three band members -- Naomi Yang, Damon Krukowski, and Dean Wareham -- but dozens of people were interviewed in all -- fellow musicians and record business folks, music critics, and scenesters. This book provides a complex, sometimes contentious account of the band's rise to indie stardom and their acrimonious breakup -- a multiperpectival view of the events Wareham describes in his acclaimed memoir, "Black Postcards." It also includes dozens of rare and never-before-seen photographs, as well as posters and other ephemera from the collections of the band members and their friends and colleagues.
