Temples Bring BLISS Tour to Seattle

Temples bring their fifth album, *Bliss*, to Seattle's Tractor, a record that pushes the Kettering-formed four-piece in new electronic directions while staying true to their core DNA. The band—James Bagshaw, Thomas Walmsley, Adam Smith, and Rens Ottink—self-produced the album, experimenting with samplers and weaving euphoric, melancholic melodies with psych-tinged riffs. Expect a set that draws from the golden era of Ibiza dance music, as well as the band's earlier psychedelic rock roots.

Support comes from Poppy Jean Crawford, making for a night of adventurous, genre-blending sounds. The Tractor, located in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood, offers an intimate setting for this show. With a 21+ age limit, the evening is geared toward adult fans ready to experience Temples' evolving sound live.
