Temples - Volcano (Heavenly)

I reviewed Temples' second record Volcano for musicOMH. Read the full review here.

""The overall sound is a little too pat, too wipe-clean,” wrote The Observer’s Kitty Empire in 2015 of Tame Impala's heartbroken synthesiser symphony Currents, a record that demonstrated that phased guitars weren’t necessarily the key to creating colourful, state-altering music. If Currents was wipe-clean, then Temples' new album Volcano – which also features an increased reliance on shiny synths – has been sprayed with a hundred cans of Mr Sheen, wiped repeatedly and then buffed until in possession of a blinding glisten visible from the International Space Station. You’ve heard of space rock; this is seen-from-space pop."
