Next February, the Noel Gallagher- and Johnny Marr-approved psych-pop outfit Temples will issue their debut album, Sun Structures, through Fat Possum. Spanning 12 tracks, it was self-produced by James Bagshaw and mixed by Claudius Mittendorfer (Foo Fighters, Jens Lekman, Neon Indian).
The first single, “Mesmerise”, finds the shaggy-haired UK group casting woozy spells. A radiant and shape-shifting sonic trip, the track calls to mind the similar stoner hypnotics of Australia’s own Tame Impala. Listen in below.
Sun Structures is due out on February 11th.
