Temples

Thought I'd write a little something about this band that have been around for a few years but with little mainstream recognition. Now, with new single: Shelter song, and air play from the likes of Huw Stephens and Steve Lamacq they've begun to get the recognition they deserve.
Tame Impala have stolen the psychedelic show for the last year and now, I think, is time for some home-grown psych talent to make it into the big time.
And, my word, have they got the tunes! Shelter song sounds very poppy and Beatles-esque. With it's easily memorable melodies and smooth, scalic keys the song immediately makes a strong (positive) impression. But the real gem of this single is the delicate, beautiful B-side; Prisms. This song highlights the crisp vocals and the complex but totally mesmerising keys.
Overall, definitely a band to watch out for in the future.
Can't wait for the album to come out later this year.
