The sunny psych rock 4-piece from Kettering is back with Volcano, their sophomore follow-up to the globally-praised classic debut Sun Structures, a distinct voice in the massive neo-psych movement of the past few years. While many bands followed the lofi aesthetic in the school of The Velvet Underground, Temples led a UK movement of studio professionalism with one foot in the door of post-Nirvana Brit Pop and the other in early 70s glammed-out T-Rextacy. Their music has a psych pulse, but the rhythms swing and gyrate with pop star confidence. It’s one big party, and everyone from Donovan to The Byrds to Marc Bolan to Neu! to Oasis are invited.
Volcano looks to be embracing some synth influences, but it’s still got that Temples formula that we’ve all fallen in love with. Check out first single Certainty on a previous post and grab one of the 300 yellow vinyl variants from Heavenly Recordings . Heavenly is a UK label.
