British psychedelic-rock outfit Temples have teamed up with Sean Lennon (The Claypool Lennon Delirium) to help produce their new single, “Paraphernalia”, out today via ATO Records. The dreamy, uptempo rock track is the band’s first new original release since their Hot Motion studio album arrived last September. Salvation has surfaced to save us all from the trials and tribulations of the so-called new normal. We’ve worked tirelessly over the past months with Sean Lennon at the controls, no borders, no rules, no distractions – just unfiltered sentiment.
“I’d always been a fan of the band. Had seen them play some pretty great shows over the years,” Lennon added in a press statement about his collaboration with the rock outfit. “When I first heard the demo for ‘Paraphernalia’ I knew they had a great tune.” Listen to the new song below.
The 4:23 minute recording delivers swells of layered vocals and catchy lead lines from synth-driven strings. The song was recorded during the Hot Motion sessions and was mixed by Dave Fridmann (Tame Impala, The Flaming Lips).
