The other day I came across a user comment, you Temples do not need to listen to, because they are a pure rip-off Tame Impala. The cried out for the sequence comment, yes, of course, as if Tame Impala have invented psychedelic music. How about if we have the matter of the Retro Mania, that most constant reproach to the Today in Pop, consider a different perspective? Somehow long-term, from farther away.
How about a thesis which says that psychedelic rock had never gone that garages rock never had to be rescued from the sinking of the Strokes and White Stripes that Sixties Soul was not rediscovered by Amy Winehouse, but in subcultural niches was cherished all the time that there were plenty of other Moody Divas Pop between Nancy Sinatra and Lana Del Rey? Just because times Limp Bizkit were a very large number? Just because we have a decimal number system, each decade should be only used as a self-contained unit for himself? Perhaps fluctuates, changes, fluctuates a public focus simply permanently and blues, garage, psychedelic rock and soul have never ceased to be an elementary part of Pop? Perhaps it was simply wrong, as you just said, Rap, then electric would dominate the consumer world forever?
Then at least it might sound very organic to portray that these youngsters are from the rural heart of England apologists of sounds from the sixties, like him The Byrds, T.Rex and phased The Beatles gave rise at that time: beautiful dreamy, voluptuous and invigorating pop melodies, reinforced with unobtrusive guitar riffs that make dizzy, dizzy, bedröhnt. And that's what make Temples in such British lightness that makes wonder.
What part are of great songs, with immediately withdrawing the spell Chorus runs on this debut: The Golden Throne, Shelter Song, The Guesser, Keep In The Dark. It is not new, alright, but it's from a later time: recorded with the means of a music studio of the 21st century, the songs of this band sound to the creative duo James Bagshaw and Thomas Warmsley then quite a bit different than an old Byrds disc ,
Pointedly: whom it does not fit, that these young men Led Zeppelin Memorial hairstyles and smartphones wear in the skinny jeans, which is no longer to help in our pop culture today. We distinguish today stylistically no longer between 1720 and 1785. And Jimmy Page has no patent on its Rocknroll mat. Temples lie down a wonderful British, featherlight psychedelic rock debut. Small Beatles on LSD.
