Flowing waves of psychedelic sound wash over the listener in UK band Temples’ appropriately named single “Mesmerise” taken from the band’s upcoming Fat Possum album Sun Structures. Borrowing sensibilities from late 60s and early 70s rock, the song rolls forward effortlessly through melodic descents and culminates in some guitar soloing and atmospheric shimmers. If you’re in the lucky northeast corner of the U.S., you can catch the band out on the road during a short stateside jaunt; full dates follow the embed. The album will be released on February 11th; hear “Mesmerise” below.
