Think daytime television, think melodic, sixties throwback psychedelia. A match made in heaven.

To get to the point, Temples have made their daytime debut on US TV with a performance of the sublime ‘Sun Structures‘ track ‘Shelter Song‘ on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

It’s up on YouTube and can be viewed below.

We’re big fans of the album around these parts, and our love for ‘Shelter Song’ goes right back to its first single release towards the end of 2012, when the review read: “Vocalist and guitarist James Bagshaw’s delivery is sweetly understated and effortless as he sums up Temples mission: ‘Take me away to the twilight zone’.”

“Beneath this the thundering, towering drums are truly remarkable and reminiscent of producer Dave Fridmann’s cavernous sound on The Flaming Lips’ classic album ‘The Soft Bulletin‘. The drums on Shelter Song in particular are what modernises the track so as to not just simply recreate the sounds of the ‘60s.”
