Temples Announces New Album “BLISS”, Shares New Song “Jet Stream Heart”
British rock band Temples, consisting of James Bagshaw (vocals/guitar), Thomas Walmsley (bass), Adam Smith (keyboards/guitar) and Rens Ottink (drums), has announced their upcoming fifth studio album “BLISS” will be released on June 26, 2026 via V2 Records.
It is their first album in three years, following the 2023 album “Exotico”.
The album comprises 10 tracks, produced by Temples themselves.
Across “BLISS”, tracks explore themes of disconnection, frustration, surrender and renewal.
The band said of the album, “BLISS is about pure feeling; we hope the music gives you permission to let go, move and embrace yourself.”
From the album, the band released the first single called “Jet Stream Heart” on February 20, 2026.
The song is about being seduced by music, built to mirror the physical sensation of standing in front of club speakers as hypnotic beats pull you in.
It was written and produced by James Edward Bagshaw- The band said of the song, “'Jet Stream Heart' explores the feeling of being seduced by music, being pulled into a sonic jet stream and having to give in to the magnetic feeling of certain music. The feeling of music in a club is visceral - almost like you're directly wired into the song. This song blurs genres and the line between what's a synth and what's a guitar/bass, using home made fuzz pedals and odd studio gear to create anything but conservative sounds. We're always striving to make a bold sonic statement.”
