Listen: Temples Stream New Single, ‘Mesmerise’

For all of Temples’ obvious psych-leanings, they’re applying the effects of whichever 60s stick they got brushed with into something different. ‘Paradise is alive in the countryside,’ chants James Bagshaw on top of a hysterical, cymbal-crashing chorus. It’s as if the heart of the hippie movement has struck up in English fields all over again. Forget the Aussie psych invasion - Kettering’s where it’s at.

‘Mesmerise’ lives up to its title, leaving not a split-second’s breathing space in its pursuit of the acid-washed holy grail.

It’s set to appear on Temples’ 2014 debut album ‘Sun Structures’, out 10th February via Heavenly, 11th February in the US via Fat Possum. Listen here.
