My record of the week - Temples 'Colours To Life'




                                                                     

The band that has had Noel Gallagher,Johnny Marr, and other masses of music lovers obsessing over, with their revived 60s Beatles-esque psychedelic sound are becoming more and more prominent in the alternative music world. Temples' 'Shelter Song' certainly captured our attention last year as it awakened those nostalgic feelings of the 60s that most would love to have been old enough to experience. Despite us being unable to choose our place in the history of music, it's bands like these that reinforce the fact that individuals are still getting something out of that influential time, and are rehabilitating and recreating the iconic sound like that captured in 'Revolver', an album that has proved to be so influential and authoritative to the modern Psychedelic revival that has a strong grasp on the music industry at present, forcing the modern world to collide and clatter with the 1960s/1970s, thus pushing the boundaries of musical creativity, a drive which seems to be lacking in most artists today. Temples are set to embark on a huge UK tour this autumn, so be sure to look out for them. But for now, here's  'Colour To Life' a taster of what could be the album of the year,  and potentially viable for the Mercury Prize...
