“Snake Hunt” presents the ravishing instrumental rock sound of Temple Waves, a band based in Honolulu, Hawaii. Their colorful sound spans from surf-friendly serenity to western-y, desert-set twanginess — inspired by a variety of scenes, from surf/skate culture to spaghetti-western cinema classics. Birthed from a jam between the act’s bassist and guitarist, “Snake Hunt” represents the project’s fourth single, and excels with a diverse psych-rock appeal — from the initial organ-touched psychedelic contemplation to surf-friendly invigoration at the two-minute turn. “Snake Hunt” has us firmly anticipating whatever’s next from Temple Waves.
