UK psych-pop heroes Temples are set to take fans on a nostalgic journey this fall with the release of their 'Other Structures' EP, dropping on October 4th. The six-track project dives deep into the archives, harking back to their game-changing debut album 'Sun Structures', which hit the charts in 2014 and established Temples as one of the most exciting bands in the psych-rock scene.
The new EP features four unreleased songs, plus two epic remixes, giving fans a fresh yet familiar look at the band’s early days.
After 'Sun Structures' took the world by storm with its shimmering, kaleidoscopic sounds, the band spent a decade on tour and in the studio, crafting new music. But now, they’re giving listeners a rare glimpse into the creative process behind their breakthrough record. With *Other Structures*, Temples have sifted through their archives to unearth some hidden gems, including the previously unreleased track ‘Days Of Conquest’.
‘Days Of Conquest’ stands out as a dazzling blend of glam rock swagger and trippy, psychedelic effects. Frontman James Bagshaw reflects on the song’s origins, saying,
"It was part of the 'Sun Structures' demos, but we ran out of run time on the LP. I was fond of the song and going back to it was a pleasant surprise, especially unearthing the sonic layering. I love how the sections contrast in an interesting way, and the fact there isn’t really a chorus."
The track offers fans a glimpse of what could have been, adding a fresh layer to the band’s already rich discography. In addition to the unreleased tracks, the 'Other Structures' EP includes two remixes of fan-favorite ‘Shelter Song.’ One rework comes courtesy of Kasabian’s Serge Pizzorno, while the other is by Robert Leven Been (aka Robert Turner) of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Both add a new, electrifying dimension to the classic track, making this release a must-listen for die-hard fans and newcomers alike.
With its blend of unreleased material and remixes, 'Other Structures' is set to be an exciting release for anyone who fell in love with Temples' debut. The EP captures the spirit of the band’s early work, while offering a fresh perspective on their musical journey over the past decade.
