On their album Volcano (2017), Temples placed their guitars to one side and turned to keyboards and synths. Released three years after Sun Structures (their playful debut album which often brought to mind The Beatles, The Zombies and Pink Floyd from the Syd Barrett era) the British group cooked up some new psychedelic pills that mixed sixties/seventies sonorities with more contemporary Tame Impala-esque sounds. Still as dreamlike as ever, Hot Motion is made up of the usual Temples DNA and also includes multiple references. Like the single Context for example. “This track was originally written as an observation of words being taken out of context” explains frontman James Bagshaw, “and how that changes the sentiment and meaning of words. This thought process crossed over into the musicality of the song. I wanted to reinvigorate the idea of the guitar solo, and also re- contextualise influences from my favourite musical pioneers. There is a nod to Les Paul and Mary Ford, and the guitar solo pays homage to a recording technique made famous on the piano sound on In My Life by The Beatles. We recorded the guitar solo at half speed, and then sped it up afterwards.” Aiming to be more ambitious on this album, Temples also reveal tracks like It’s All Coming Out where their almost cinematographic arrangements echo John Barry from his golden age in the sixties. A brilliant record packed full of surprises. © Marc Zisman/Qobuz
