After recently sharing new single ‘Certainty,’ psych outfit Temples have announced that the follow up to their debut album Sun Structures, Volcano, will be released on 3rd March 2017 via Heavenly Recordings. It’s set to expand quite significantly on the sonic atmosphere implemented on Sun Structures and has been recorded at the band’s home studio in Kettering. Lead singer James Bagshaw says: “If there’s a sense of scale […] It was really just a result of implementing a load of things that we didn’t know about the first time around.”
The band have also shared the video for ‘Certainty,’ directed by Alden Volney. The hallucinogenic video sees the band surrounded by colour, CGI figures and increasingly being swamped by items that keep flooding the room. Volney said: “This is based on a recurring dream I have been having since childhood about getting into a sea of plastic. So when the band approached me about doing something inspired by those JPOP videos that ooze quirkiness and eccentricity, I thought injecting the color palettes and aesthetics of Japan into this idea could be a good fit. It’s designed to feel like a fever dream you’d have after spending too much time in a Japanese dollar store.” Watch below.
