Sun Structures, the debut album from Kettering's Temples, came out on Heavenly Recordings on 5 February 2014, two years after singer and guitarist James Bagshaw got the band going. It went to number seven in the UK, and the sound is pure psychedelia: jangling, phased guitars, sunburst harmonies and grooves that seem dug out of a vintage crate.

"Shelter Song" is the one that has kept turning up on the countdowns, and "Keep in the Dark" found a second life over the closing credits of the 2015 thriller The Gift. Even the sleeve fits the mystic mood, built around the Rushton Triangular Lodge, an odd three-sided building in Northamptonshire.
