Temples

Temples have unveiled a new track from their upcoming album “Volcano” and it’s another psych-pop doozy.

Bassist Tom Warmsley said of ‘Strange Or Be Forgotten’: “We’re continually inundated with pressure in modern life to have to make something ourselves and leave behind a legacy in this world.” He explained that, “‘Strange Or Be Forgotten’ is our way of questioning the necessity of having to be all so individual and unique – when really it’s our true selves that should be celebrated”.

The Kettering indie-psych outfit broke cover at the tail end of 2016, airing new material via a series of intimate shows. Second album ‘Volcano’ arrives on March 3rd,

After a shuddering start, the track evolves into a swooning, blissful pop number drenched in epic strings and wobbly synths that’ll be a euphoric ending to ‘Volcano’. It’s Temples just being themselves, and that’s just the way we like them.

The band have also announced an absolutely massive tour across the UK and Europe in March and April. Kicking off in Newcastle on 26th March, they’ll be hopping all around the continent for a month before eventually returning to Bristol to end the tour on 27th April. Standard way to round off a mammoth run of dates then.

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.

Temples are an English rock band formed in Kettering, Northants in 2012 by singer-guitarist James Edward Bagshaw and bassist Thomas Edward James Walmsley . They have received considerable press attention during their short existence and have been cited by Johnny Marr and Noel Gallagher as the best new band in Britain.
Bagshaw commented on the difficulty in selecting which tracks to release as singles. I guess melody is something that assigns a single because that’s the thing that people listen to. But for us, we always found it very hard to choose singles… it might not be commercially viable,
