Temples
volcano
heavenly recordings
a shimmering technicolour cloud of clean guitars & crisp, yet hazy vocals, full of cheerful hooks.
Self-produced and recorded at the band’s home studio in Kettering, It doesn’t take too long to realise that, while all the things that made the band special the first time around remain intact, a noticeable evolution has taken place. It’s there from the outset: the beefed-up beats of ‘Certainty’ reveal an expanded sonic firmament, one in which bright synth hooks and insistent choruses circle around each other over chord sequences that strike just the right balance between nice and queasy. It would be disingenuous to evade the psych-pop tag, for sure, but mystical language has been supplanted by something more direct.
