I got FACES but I wasn't sure whether it was NEW or THE, and I couldn't see how THE was clued
If it comes from most of... pousSE CAFE at higH Temperature. it's not most -it's rather less than half.
Anyway
Confused weather forecast issues fatwa and leaves seconds in minute, say.

High temperature is often initialled to HT, as in UHT milk, then it becomes a case of reading it back. Instead of the "most of", there could have been a "consume soup from", but I suppose Wyatt may have considered that to be too easy, not that I'd want to speak for him, mind.

HT is an accepted abbreviation for "high temperature". It's most of "pousSE-CAFE HT": 8 letters out of 12.

How would the surface reading work?

A more fatal objection is that they were actually called "Faces", but I only found that out after setting the clue.

Good point, I'll shut up now.

To be fair though, although record sleeves bore the legend "Faces", I don't recall them ever being referred to as such on music programmes or by fans of the group.
