Temples’ name has become synonymous with a band with an adventurous spirit; constantly exploring new ideas. On their fifth album, BLISS, they shake up the perception of the Ketteri ng-formed four-piece with a record that ventures into electronic territory while staying true to their core DNA. Euphoric and melancholic melodies of late ‘90s dance music blend with psych-tinged riffs and loops to create something fresh. Though the band missed the late ‘90s rave culture firsthand, BLISS channels that era’s bittersweet euphoria, drawing inspiration from Faithless, Underworld, Prodigy, Air, Röyksopp, Moby, Massive Attack, Orbital, Portishead, and more. Psych and dance share a natural lineage, with repetition, loops, and trance-like states forming the album’s foundation. Show more
