Temples have announced the release of their anticipated new album Exotico. Scheduled to land on April 14th, the record is the follow-up to their 2019 LP Hot Motion. Exotico is produced by Sean Lennon and mixed by Dave Fridmann.

Having previously given fans a taste of what’s to come with their song ‘Gamma Rays’, which dropped last month, Temples now return with their new single ‘Cicada’. For this tune, Temples delve deeper into their psychedelic bag as the racing instrumentation is coupled with whirlwind vocals that punch with total impact. This is surely Temples at their finest.

Touching on the single, Temples bassist Thomas Walmsley stated:

“‘Cicada’ came from being inspired by the sound of cicadas and the idea of emerging from the underground after a long time of being suppressed. We were attempting to turn that sound into a sort of dance rhythm, and once we started working with Sean we really built up the production by digging into his cupboard of keyboards and synths.”
