Temples by Afterlife

Temples, the British psychedelic rock band, have released a new single titled 'Afterlife', which is the latest track to be revealed from their forthcoming album 'Exotico'. Produced by Sean Ono Lennon and mixed by Grammy award-winner Dave Fridmann, the single continues to build anticipation for the album, set to be released on 14th April via ATO Records.

The band members have shared their thoughts on the song and album, with Thomas Walmsley saying that they envisioned a journey across an imagined place, with 'Afterlife' being one of the evening tracks as they move towards twilight. Meanwhile, lead singer and guitarist James Bagshaw reflect on the song as being about long-distance relationships and the balance between love and isolation. He talks about the feeling of loneliness and the hope that seeing a light in the distance can bring, knowing that they will meet again.

This latest single follows previously released tracks 'Cicada' and 'Gamma Rays', all of which offer a glimpse into what the upcoming album has in store for listeners. With a mixture of classic psychedelic sounds and modern production, Temples continue to carve out their unique place in indie rock. The band is set to embark on a UK tour this autumn, with dates including London's O2 Forum Kentish Town and Manchester's O2 Ritz.
