Remaining tethered to their psych roots, the four-piece also absorb the world-building electronics of Massive Attack and Underworld." -CLASH "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 familiar vocals waft through the mix." -FLOOD "joy in a soulless world" -Vanyaland "And if ‘Jet Stream Heart’ is anything to go by, then ‘BLISS’ as a whole promises to be just as bold, merging Temples’ psych-rock roots with the “melancholic euphoria” of early ’00s dance greats like Faithless, Underworld, and Massive Attack." -DIY "The record ventures into electronic territory while staying true to the band’s core DNA, pairing euphoric and melancholic late-’90s dance melodies with psych-tinged riffs and looping textures." -JamBase "Re-shaping their perception, Kettering 4-piece Temples today serve up their brand new single ‘Vendetta’, taken from their forthcoming new studio album BLISS - out June 26th on V2 Records - and one that flies in new electronic directions, while staying true to their core DNA, making it their most adventurous and liberated record to date." -FrontView Magazine British indie-psych rockers and cult favorites Temples are entering a bold new era. Alongside the announcement of their recent signing to V2 Records, the band has unveiled their forthcoming LP, BLISS. Following recent singles “Jet Stream Heart” and “Vendetta,” the group’s latest material has drawn comparisons to ’90s electronic pioneers Underworld and Massive Attack, signaling a darker, more expansive sonic direction. Today, Temples return with “Blue Flame,” an epic and anthemic meditation on the growing space screens and technology occupy in our relationships and daily lives. "We shelter ourselves from the elements, connecting with technology rather than nature. ‘Blue Flame’ is a cautionary tale of separation, both from each other as human beings, and from the world as a whole," the band explains.  BLISS marks a striking new chapter for Temples, showcasing some of their most experimental, polished, and confident work to date. "Blue Flame" is out May 20, 2026 via V2 Records. Tickets for Temples live are on sale now.  Temples - "Blue Flame" (Lyric Video) Single Art TEMPLES LIVE FESTIVALS May 29 - Alicante, Spain - Spring Festival May 30 - Santa Coloma de Queralt, Spain - Festival De Maig Jul 25 - Latitude Fest - Suffolk, UK US EAST COAST DATES Sep 11 - Austin, TX - Levitation Festival Sep 12 - Dallas, TX - White Oak Music Hall Sep 15 - Denver, CO - Bluebird Theater Sep 17 - Tuscon, AZ - La Rosa Sep 19 - Los Angeles, CA - Teragram Ballroom Sep 20 - San Diego, CA - Casbah Sep 22 - San Francisco, CA - The Chapel Sep 23 - San Francisco, CA - The Chapel Sep 26 - Seattle, WA - Tractor Tavern Sep 27 - Vanvoucer, BC - The Pearl Sep 28 - Montreal, QB - Theatre Fairmount Nov 30 - Boston, MA - Sinclair  Dec 2 - Brooklyn, NY - Warsaw Dec 3 - Philadelphia, PA - Underground Arts  Dec 4 - Washington DC - Atlantis Dec 5 - Carborro, NC - Cat's Cradle Dec 7 - Atlanta, GA - Terminal West Dec 8 - Nashville, TN - Cannery @ the Mill Dec 9 - Indianapolis, IN - Hi-Fi Dec 10 - Madison, WI - High Noon Saloon Dec 11 - Minneapolis, MN - Turf Club  Dec 12 - Chicago, IL - Thalia Hall  EU DATES Oct 11 - Strasbourg, France - La Laiterie Oct 13 - Nancy, France - L'Autre Canal Oct 14 - Reims, France - La Cartonnerie Oct 15 - Lille, France - Aeronef Oct 17 - Paris, France - Le Trianon Oct 18 - Lausanne, Switzerland - Les Docks Oct 19 - Lyon, France - Epicerie Moderne Oct 21 - Milan, Italy - Magnolia Oct 22 - Bologna, Italy - Locomotiv Oct 23 - Munich, Germany - Ampere Oct 25 - Vienna, Austria - WUK Oct 26 - Prague, Czech Republic - Rock Cafe Oct 27 - Warsaw, Poland - Niebo Oct 29 - Berlin, Germany - Columbia Theater Oct 30 - Cologne, Germany - Gebaude 9 Nov 01 - Eindhoven, Netherlands - Effenaar Nov 03 - Amsterdam, Netherlands - Melkweg Nov 04 - Nigmegen, Netherlands - Doornroosje Nov 05 - Brussels, Belgium - Museum (Botanique) Nov 06 - Groningen, Netherlands - Vera UK DATES Jun 20 - London, UK - The Shacklewell Arms (Band Guest DJ Appearance) Nov 09 - Bristol, UK - Strange Brew Nov 11 - London, UK - Scala (TBD upon sell out of Nov 12) Nov 12 - London, UK - Scala Nov 13 - Manchester, UK - The White Hotel Nov 14 - Glasgow, UK - King Tuts TEMPLES BIO: This British neo-psychedelic band formed in Kettering, England in 2012 and consists of singer/guitarist James Bagshaw, bassist Tom Walmsley, keyboardist/guitarist Adam Smith, and drummer Rens Ottink.
