The hotly-tipped Temples have premiered the video for their eagerly awaited new single ‘Colours To Life‘ – check it out below.
The track is due for release through Heavenly Recordings on June 24th, and shares the evocative Seventies-psych vibe which made its predecessor ‘Shelter Song‘ such an impressive debut, handing them an instant army of influential friends in the process.
“Like Fleet Foxes and Tame Impala before them, Temples have no problem in looking backwards as they aim to move forwards,” Live4ever’s review of that track, which became one of our Essentials of last year, reads.
“Whilst the Seattleites favour some Laurel Canyon inspired acoustic revelry, and the Aussies add a little prog rock to their psyche-gumbo, Temples adopt a Byrdsian outlook circa ‘Eight Miles High‘, even adding some twelve-string Rickenbacker firepower to wit.”
“Such blatant retro-fetishism can inspire derision in some quarters, consider the banality of the endless succession of post-Winehouse soul-lite artists (seriously, when will all that end?), but sometimes a song so strong surpasses such apprehensions and ‘Shelter Song’ is one of them.”
