Bliss LP

Temples call Bliss a record about permission, which is critic-speak for letting a band that's spent five albums perfecting one sound finally wander off it. James Bagshaw and Tom Walmsley formed the group in 2012 after paying dues in The Moons, and Bliss follows Sun Structures, Volcano, Hot Motion, and Exotico on V2 Records, led by the single Jet Stream Heart. The permission mostly shows up as electronic textures folded into their usual psychedelic rock frame.
