Alt-pop two-piece TEME have been hit by a wave of creativity recently, allowing them to create their entire self-produced EP, HA LF, over the course of the last few months. The lead single and title track, ‘HA LF’. You’re lulled into a false sense of atmospheric security in its opening seconds, but we’re quickly hit with huge, speedy drums and swirling textures and vocal melodies reminiscent of Kate Bush and Bon Iver. It also comes with a video, which the pair describe as being split into three parts: “The first part displays a unity and natural comfortability between the protagonists, which soon descends into violence and discord in the second. In the third and final act, the negative energy abates, and a deeper union than ever before is formed.” Make sure to check out HA LF when it drops on July 30^th. -Dan Peeke
