The psych-rock band Temples have announced their new album Volcano, the follow-up to 2014’s Sun Structures, along with debuting a new video for lead single “Certainty.”
The trippy video was directed by Alden Volney, who said its dreamlike quality was very much intentional:
This is based on a recurring dream I have been having since childhood about getting into a sea of plastic. So when the band approached me about doing something inspired by those JPOP videos that ooze quirkiness and eccentricity, I thought injecting the color palettes and aesthetics of Japan into this idea could be a good fit. It’s designed to feel like a fever dream you’d have after spending too much time in a Japanese dollar store.
