A Kettering group known for dreamy, nostalgic songs built on vintage synths and swirling guitars.
If you're new to Temples, start with "Keep In The Dark" or "Shelter Song" from Sun Structures. Those tracks really frame their whole approach, that hazy, nostalgic sound they've been refining ever since.
Temples matter because they've kept a specific kind of psychedelic rock alive, one that feels both nostalgic and freshly atmospheric. Songs like "Keep In The Dark" from their 2014 debut Sun Structures define that sound, hazy melodies, swirling guitars, and James Bagshaw's distinctive vocals. They've drawn clear inspiration from 1960s acts like The Byrds and The Beatles, but they've built their own consistent framework across three albums.
They started as schoolmates in Kettering in the early 2010s, sharing an interest in vintage synthesizers and 1960s music. Their debut Sun Structures in 2014 established their dreamy psychedelic style, and later albums like Volcano and Hot Motion showed some experimental turns while staying within that framework.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
