Temples have returned and will release their first album since 2017, Hot Motion. The record is a throwback tip of the hat to the 1960s sound.
The well-loved British band drops the third album Hot Motion via ATO Records on Sept. 27. Hot Motion is the band’s debut on the well-known indie label.
Temples has shared a performance video for the title track “Hot Motion,” a song the they say is about “the tensions of desire, dreams and nightmares.”
