Temples

Temples’ fourth full-length album is a resplendent collage of psychedelia, kosmische and time-bending dream-pop, that evokes an impossibly utopic island, dreamed up by the band's shared consciousness.

Equal parts cerebral and celestial, the result is a truly immersive body of work, fully affirming Kettering-bred Temples as one of today’s most forward-thinking and endlessly inventive rock bands. Mixed by Dave Fridmann (Beach House, Spoon, The Flaming Lips) and mainly recorded at Lennon’s studio in upstate New York, 'Exotico' continues the collaboration begun on Temples’ Lennon-produced 2020 single “Paraphernalia.”

Although Temples created portions of 'Exotico' at their home studio back in England, their 12 days of sessions at Lennon’s studio marked a significant departure from the self-contained approach they’d adhered to since their debut album 'Sun Structures' (a 2014 release The Quietus likened to a series of “woozy daydreams that will embed themselves further in with each listen”).
