(Toronto, ON – September 13, 2019) – Lauded UK neo-psychedelic rockers Temples have shared “Context”, the latest stunning track from their forthcoming third album, Hot Motion – to be released worldwide on ATO Records on Friday September 27th. The beloved three-piece will begin their US tour on October 11, starting at Desert Daze Festival in California.

“Context” HERE

Talking about the track, Temples’ frontman James Bagshaw says:

“‘Context’ was originally written as an observation of words being taken out of context, and how that changes the sentiment and meaning of words. This thought process crossed over into the musicality of the song. I wanted to reinvigorate the idea of the guitar solo, and also re-contextualise influences from my favorite musical pioneers. There is a nod to Les Paul and Mary Ford, and the guitar solo pays homage to a recording technique made famous on the piano sound on In My Life by The Beatles! We recorded the guitar solo at half speed, and then sped it up afterwards!”

Hot Motion follows their acclaimed albums Sun Structures(2014) & Volcano (2017) and is Temples‘ debut release for esteemed indie label ATO Records.

With previous singles “Hot Motion” and “You’re Either On Something” already picking up glowing reviews and radio support from KCRW, KEXP, The Current, WXPN, WRLT, WTMD and more. It’s an album fizzing with ideas, bursting with kinetic energy and balancing an immediate impact with an enduring, timeless intensity. A cohesive album in a time of stand alone singles, with Hot Motion Temples have created an aural tapestry for dark days; an inviting and warm sanctuary away from the daily churn of information overload. It’s an album of complexity, crafted for repeat listening.

Renowned for their mesmerising live performances and having just played stunning sets at this year’s All Points East Festival and Manchester Psych Fest, Temples have also announced a U.K. and European headline tour in the early winter, a number of festival shows over the summer and an extensive U.S. tour in the autumn, including performances at Desert Daze Festival and VooDoo Music Experience.

Listen to “You’re Either on Something” HERE

(Toronto, ON – August 6, 2019) – Temples have today shared “You’re Either On Something”, the latest track from their forthcoming third album, Hot Motion – to be released worldwide on ATO Records on September 27th. The band will begin their North American tour on October 11, starting with Desert Daze Festival. “I’m excited for people to experience these songs for the first time,” declares singer and guitarist James Bagshaw. “They are constructed in such a way that the album should feel relatively instantaneous, but we did not water down our creative ideas. Getting that balance can be hard, perhaps on the last record on some songs we used too many layers to create depth, but making this album we discovered that depth doesn’t simply come by layering things, it can come from the intensity of an idea.”

Talking about the track, singer James Bagshaw says:

“I’m really proud of “You’re Either On Something” lyrically because I feel deeply connected with the words – they’re so truthful. On that track, I can hear influences of stuff that I listened to when I was growing up. There’s almost a nostalgia to that track, even though it’s very forward-looking.”

Hot Motion, which follows their acclaimed albums Sun Structures (2014) & Volcano(2017), is Temples’ debut release for renowned label ATO Records and the band recently unveiled the title track from the record. Listen to “Hot Motion” here.

With their third, brilliantly crafted and ingeniously intricate, album Temples have found new ground and a deeper, darker creative well. A glorious technicolour infuses much of the album but there is a David Lynch-ian undertone that adds a gravity to Hot Motion‘s soaring moments. Fizzing with ideas, bursting with kinetic energy and balancing an immediate impact with an enduring, timeless intensity, Hot Motion is a cohesive album in a time of stand alone singles. Temples have created an aural tapestry for dark days; an inviting and warm sanctuary away from the daily churn of information overload. It’s an album of complexity, crafted for repeat listening.

Renowned for their mezmerising live performances a Temples have also announced a U.K. and European headline tour in the early winter, a number of festival shows over the summer and an extensive U.S. tour in the autumn.
