PRAISE FOR TEMPLES" No matter where they were working on music and regardless of what influenced their style, Temples has created a sound that is uniquely theirs, genre-bending, and loved by fans across the globe." -The Aquarian" an album fizzing with ideas, bursting with kinetic energy and balancing an immediate impact with an enduring, timeless intensity" -Paste" joy in a soulless world"-Vanyaland"Whereas 2014’s debut Sun Structures reveled in vintage psych-pop pastels, the band’s latest single “Jet Stream Heart” sounds far more contemporary in its pulsating neons and pounding electronic beat as James Bagshaw’s familar vocals waft through the mix."-FLOOD" huge, monolithic, reaching-for-infinity psych-rock" -Stereogum" Renowned for their mesmerizing live performances" -The Big Takeover
"Like many young bands before it, the four-piece from Kettering in Northhamptonshire embraces — and proudly plays up — the influence of The Beatles and other '60s legends, notably The Byrds. But Temples' music claims its own place, weaving these inspirations into crazy-beautiful and richly idiosyncratic music." -NPR |

In February, British indie-psych rockers, Temples, announced their signing to V2 Records and the arrival of their forthcoming LP, BLISS. The cult favorites returned with renewed intensity on lead single “Jet Stream Heart,” a reemergence that reignited critics and fans alike.
Today, the four-piece share “Vendetta,” a bold, sleek, club-leaning track layered with warped, fuzz-soaked textures. “There's something special about certain songs from the golden era of Ibiza dance music, it’s euphoric but also tinged with melancholy," the band shares. "The feeling of these songs heavily inspired Vendetta, although we didn’t want to go fully down pastiche route. The production of this song really sums up the record for me, With use of self sampling and creating unusual texture combinations whilst having a strong melodic core. I have always loved songs that are instantly recognisable from the first bar and Vendetta is not shy at pulling you in from the first beat.”
“Vendetta” captures the heat-of-the-moment rush of letting go—an invitation to lose yourself on the dancefloor and leave everything else behind, if only briefly. BLISS ushers in a new chapter for Temples, showcasing their most experimental, polished, and confident work to date. "Vendetta" is out April 14, 2026 via V2 Records. Tickets for Temples live are on sale now. |
