Temples return with Bliss, a record that reframes the Kettering quartet’s sound without abandoning their psychedelic roots. Here, shimmering synths and propulsive rhythms meet hazy guitars and hypnotic repetition, as the band lean into the bittersweet uplift of late ’90s dance culture. Drawing on the euphoric melancholy of acts such as Faithless, Underworld, The Prodigy, Air, Röyksopp, Moby, Massive Attack, Orbital and Portishead, BLISS channels that era’s sense of transcendence while filtering it through Temples’ melodic sensibility. Loops, grooves and trance-like momentum underpin the album, revealing the natural kinship between psych and dance music. It’s a confident shift in perspective: expansive yet focused, club-informed yet unmistakably Temples.
