Temples Share ‘Context’ Single

Temples shared a new single, “Context,” from their upcoming album Hot Motion. The UK rockers will release the new LP on September 27 via ATO Records.

Temples frontman James Bagshaw spoke about the new tune in a statement:

“Context” was originally written as an observation of words being taken out of context, and how that changes the sentiment and meaning of words. This thought process crossed over into the musicality of the song. I wanted to reinvigorate the idea of the guitar solo, and also re-contextualise influences from my favorite musical pioneers. There is a nod to Les Paul and Mary Ford, and the guitar solo pays homage to a recording technique made famous on the piano sound on In My Life by The Beatles! We recorded the guitar solo at half speed, and then sped it up afterwards!
