To celebrate the day of release of their debut album ‘PARTY GATOR PURGATORY’, the 40-piece music collective Temps have shared a new video for the single ‘partygatorR.I.P.’. Watch it below.
Temps was devised, curated and produced by the comedian James Acaster, and has been made in collaboration with an eclectic list of acclaimed and beloved underground musicians.
‘partygatorR.I.P.’ features contributions from Xenia Rubinos, Denmark Vessey, Quelle Chris and bb tombo.
Temps are also set to take part in a pair of ‘In Conversation’ live shows, first with John Kennedy at London’s Rough Trade East on 20th May, and then with Tim Burgess for Tim’s Listening Party Live at Latitude festival on 21st July.
The Temps project began as a mockumentary that Acaster intended to make with Louis Theroux’s production company, but slowly evolved into this sprawling longform musical project.
‘PARTY GATOR PURGATORY’ is out now via Bella Union.
