Volcano
“Temples’ 2014 debut ‘Sun Structures’ arrived with sky in its hair and the endorsements of Noel Gallagher and Johnny Marr ringing in its ears, putting the Kettering quartet at the forefront of an exciting new wave of British psych.

Volcano
“Temples' debut record, Sun Structures, presented the band as time-travellers with their pitch-perfect, late 1960s psychedelia.

Fans of the first record might miss that '60s tone at first, but repeat listens reveal the Temples we know and love. ”
Sun Structures
“UK rockers Temples' new Sun Structures reproduces the sounds of the psychedelic 1960s era with a painstaking, granular attention to detail. But the recreation is so studious that the album is devoid of individual personality.”
BLISS
“The group make a dramatic shift into a synthesizer-heavy dance rock sound inspired by 90s dance music and the rave scene.”
Hot Motion
“The British psych-rockers’ third album boasts studied musicianship and strong arrangements—and very little else.”
Sun Structures
“While Temples' shows a sincere appreciation for psychedelic pop on their debut album, the band does very little to deliver novel ideas or exciting performances.”
