A decade-spanning rock inspiration stirs on “Temple of the Sun,” a track from Pittsburgh-based band Different Places in the Sun. A hazy intrigue shows initially, with a buzzing resonance and caressing synths. A fervent bass-heavy emergence signals an entry into hard-rocking delectability, complete with expressive “to the sky!” vocal declarations and dazzling guitar-forward charisma. The track is a thrilling tour-de-force from the band, who draw from the feelings of ’60s, ’90s, and modern rock.
