After celebrating the ten-year anniversary of their debut album Sun Structures—marked by a 2024 U.S. anniversary tour—British neo-psychedelic rockers Temples return today with the announcement of their new LP, BLISS, alongside their signing to V2 Records. Hailed upon their debut by Noel Gallagher of Oasis as “the best new band in Britain,” Temples re-emerge with renewed intensity on lead single “Jet Stream Heart,” a menacing, funky, and hypnotic groove that signals a bold evolution for the band.
On the track the band shares, "We always strive to make a bold sonic statement. The feeling of music in a club is visceral, almost like you're directly wired into the song. Mainlining the rhythms to the heart.
This song explores the feeling of being seduced by music, being pulled into a sonic jet stream, and having to give in to the magnetic feeling of certain music.
Sampling in music has always been an interesting creative approach to me, but I liked the idea of actually sampling our own music. Sometimes even sampling the song that you are currently producing to evoke the feeling of a sample from an old record, without the need to get it cleared by the original artist."
"Jet Stream Heart" blurs genres, and blurs the line between what’s a synth and what’s a guitar/bass. Using home made fuzz pedals and odd studio gear to create anything but conservative sounds. BLISS ushers in a new chapter for Temples, showcasing their most experimental, polished, and confident work to date. "Jet Stream Heart" is out February 20, 2026 via V2 Records. |
