Temples announce 'Hot Motion,' share title track, touring, playing Desert Daze

UK psych band Temples will release their third album, Hot Motion, on September 27 via ATO. “It felt like there was a darker edge to what we were coming up with and we wanted to make sure that carried through the whole record,” say bassist Thomas Walmsley. “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 is something we wanted to explore further.” The first single is also Hot Motion’s title track and you can watch the video for that below.

Temples will tour North America this fall, kicking it off with an appearance at California’s Desert Daze festival, and then heading east. The NYC stop is at Webster Hall on November 7. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday, June 7 at noon.
