Temples announce Sean Ono Lennon-produced album with new single "Gamma Rays"

"Gamma Rays" is the band's first new outing since 2020's "Paraphernalia" track, which was also produced by Sean Ono Lennon, and is accompanied by a Molly Daniel-directed video.

Temples' James Bagshaw says, "In the verse lyrics we’re talking about the grandness of nature, and then the chorus flips that on its head, it sounds like a rejoiceful summer tune about soaking up the rays, but the truth is that soaking up gamma rays will kill you. So it’s about that juxtaposition of beauty and danger that we often find in nature."

Exotico will follow Temples' 2019 album Hot Motion, and was recorded at Lennon's upstate New York studio and mixed by Dave Fridmann (Beach House, Spoon, The Flaming Lips).
