Temples take The Barfly on a psychedelic trip
Earlier this month Temples played to a full house of excitable music-buzz lovers at The Social. Last night the duo’s “neo-psychedelia” took over The Barfly, bringing retro chic in abundance to a part of the world where such a style will always be at home.
There’s quite a fuss surrounding this Camden-clad band, and for good reason; their timbre surfs along the crest of a Django Django wave, while their look and assured performance would sit them comfortably alongside the Mercury nominees.
Temples’ set is a trip that revolved around buzzing guitar, reverberating vocals and hypnotic choruses; the highlight of which came in the form of a nod to The Beatles in the impossibly funky opening riff to ‘Shelter Song’. They produce a vintage live performance that makes you want to stay out passed your bedtime and grow your hair long. Expect a great deal more from these two.
