Temples gained worldwide s uccess in 2012 while an impressive wave of neo-psychedelic bands flourishe d the charts and the festival circuit. On “Shelter Song” and their subsequ ent debut album “Sun Structures,” the band drew inspiration from the nosta lgic melodies and hypnotic, non-Western grooves that were embraced in the 1960s. Subsequent albums featured layered synth work (Volcano, 2015), a re imagining of the 1970s (Hot Motion, 2019), and utopian productions with cr eative input from Sean Lennon (Exotico, 2023). This summer they'll release their fifth album, where they draw on a very different approach.

B liss

On their fifth studio album, ‘BLISS,’ set for release on June 26, the quartet drew inspiration from 90s dance music. With their signatur e psychedelic riffs and loops, euphoria is deeply woven into Temples’ DNA. The band says of that inspiration:

"There’s something special a bout certain songs from the golden era of Ibiza dance music—it’s euphoric but also tinged with melancholy. The feeling of these songs heavily inspir ed ‘Vendetta,’ although we didn’t want to go fully down the pastiche route . The production of this song really sums up the record for me, with the u se of self-sampling and creating unusual texture combinations while mainta ining a strong melodic core. I’ve always loved songs that are instantly re cognizable from the first bar, and ‘Vendetta’ doesn’t shy away from pullin g you in from the very first beat.”

On Tuesday, November 3, Temples returns to the Netherlands for a show in our MAX hall!
