Temples - Sand Dance

The 11th track from Sun Structures, the debut album of Temples.

[florianace]

most underrated temples song. i mean holy shit that killer baseline with the simplified playing of the a major and a#/Bb chords on guitar but with warm mids so that the high open strings are not too highlighted, then fucking heavy drums with this solemnly tambourine snare and in the pre-chorus the genius playing of the hi hat, the just perfect filling bit quiet keyboard plus this one little flute riff on the keyboard, then immidiately after this beautiful psychedelic deep, dark, flat, sustainful guitar solo comes the keyboard again but with a
crazy cello or violin like solo with this decent swinging up and down, which makes this piece of music in the end absolutely immaculate...

I feel like I'm at a concert in the deserts of Egypt when I listen to this

Between this, King Gizzard - Intrasport and Static Electricity, I've definitely got some huge liking for psychedelic arabic type music.

Love the title of the album, Sun Structures. Abu Roash and Abu Said, near Saqqara, Egypt, were "sun structures, " too. As was the Ben Ben of Heliopolis. Abu Roash was sacred to the fifth dynasty Pharaoh/Kings Neferefre and Niussere.

Really cool and retro for me, a 60 year older

[aaronsmith]

Has an epic feel... takes you on journey if you close your eyes and take it in

[eaglerare]

Best new music I've heard in some time.  Bravo TEMPLES!

Lyrics video a must! Hypnotic trance in every note, noteworthy of course in ride of life on this universal plane of earthy art!

[Groovadelicoh]

Their Lyrics are fucking great, and I saw them live not too long ago and they fucking blew my mind. I pretty much listen to these guys at minimum 12 times a day, also with Tame Impala hahaxD Sun Structures, Innerspeaker, Lonerism. are great albums to listen to if your in to this kind of music. Peace!! if anyone knows some albums like this share!

They are the great temples of this century

[benjamingoldmanmoshiachben]

Play this song (which is playing overhead in this Taco Bell right now) in conjunction with Piotr Tchaikovsky's "Marche Slav" for an eerily similar, "Eastern/Oriental" sound and feel and texture.

Blasting through lucerne valley in my AT4X with this playing

[themaninblack]

When I get my black 70 Chevelle, off to the grand canyon I go whilst listening to this.

[marcogarcia]

This song reminds me of Planet Terror such a good movie if your into grindhouse

[nikokaapa]

Very nice ending there. I think these dudes my have a nice career in front of them. They have some obvious potential!

[Pedroojanuu]

From under night sky we will wait hoping
That our reflection meets between two
Below the dark cries secretly laughing
A smile was passed but never on you
Come into the meaning when the light sold our
Secrets left us in turn
Circle in the desert where the mind grows now
In a sand dance we burn
Upon a question answers prevail
A vivid memory of which shes unsure
A lesser meaning left among feelings
A pirouette left down on the ground
Come into the meaning when the light sold our
Secrets left us in turn
Circle in the desert where the mind grows now
In a sand dance we burn
Guide the light to
Sinking from view
We have to be
What we have to learn
We have to see
Things that we wish could be
Flames between you
Burning from view
We have to be
What we have to learn
We have to see
Things that we wish could be
Still under night sky
We will wait hoping
That our reflection meets between two
Below the dark cries
Secret in passing
A smile will last but never on you
Guide the light to
Sinking from view
We have to be
What we have to learn
We have to see
Things that we wish could be
Flames between you
Burning from view
We have to be
What we have to learn
We have to see
Things that we wish could be

[davidtomsovic]

[adammarquez]
