Temples - BLISS (2026) [Hi-Res]

Temples' name has become synonymous with a band with an adventurous spirit; constantly exploring new ideas. On their fifth album, BLISS, they shake up the perception of the Kettering-formed four-piece with a record that ventures into electronic territory while staying true to their core DNA. Euphoric and melancholic melodies of late '90s dance music blend with psych-tinged riffs and loops to create something fresh.

For Temples, BLISS represents creative freedom and a shared sense of joy in making music. "We've just done exactly what we want to do in a purely selfish way, and that becomes not selfish when people connect with it," says Bagshaw. Forward-looking yet aware of its roots, the album is unmistakably Temples: "People should throw out whatever they thought we were this is what we are."
