The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

British neo-psychedelic band Temples combine a trippily retro approach with classic pop craftsmanship, though they aren't afraid to stretch the fuzzy boundaries of their chosen sound. The group debuted a core style of chiming guitars, tight harmonies, and an easygoing T. Rex-inspired boogie on 2014's Sun Structures. This album gained the band a following that expanded beyond neo-psych circles. Nonetheless, Temples and fellow travelers King Gizzard and Tame Impala found themselves at the forefront of a miniature psychedelic revival. Their guiding principles stayed firmly intact, even when exploring synth-heavy territory as they do on 2017's Volcano or giving their sound a sonic glow-up courtesy of a Dave Fridmann mix on 2023's Exotico.
