Temples live at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC. (Paul Bachmann for Live4ever)
Temples have been whittled down to a trio and will release their third studio album Hot Motion on September 27th.
Guitarists James Bagshaw, Tom Walmsley and Adam Smith remain on the record which, according to bassist Walmsley, contains ‘a darker edge’ which they ‘wanted to make sure that carried through across the whole record’:
“It’s not a ten track, relentless rock record from start to finish, it’s got a lot of light and shade and more tender moments, but that heavier, darker sound for us is something we wanted to make sure was in there and explore further.”
A video for the title-track has been released along with details of a December UK tour.
