I’ve been sitting on this one for a bit too long, so I figured (OK, Jerry told me) it was time to get it up on the blog. (Hey, I’m a busy man!) There’s a lot of buzz surrounding the new material from Melbourne’s The Temper Trap and no wonder, because the first taste of their 2009-due album, ‘Sweet Disposition’, is a delay-driven melody fest. Recalling the sounds of ’80s U2, ‘Sweet Disposition’ was recorded in the UK with famed producer Jim Abbiss, who’s worked with some little known acts like The Arctic Monkeys, DJ Shadow, Bjork and Massive Attack. Yeah, I’ve never heard of them either…
I dropped into Sydney’s 301 Studios a few weeks back to hear some more tracks from the Abbiss sessions which will form the bulk of the forthcoming album, and it’s definitely sounding solid. They don’t follow the same aesthetic as ‘Sweet Disposition’ though which is a shame, but it still should turn some heads. You could do worse than check it out.





The anticipation for this album is too much to bare. Been waiting since last year……..can’t handle it anymore!!!
Fantastic. Entranced.
Went to the gig in Melbourne last Saturday (29th nov) and they were great! But can someone tell me why the guys doing the ‘mixing’ drown out the fantastic vocals. I was right at the front but couldn’t hear the the words…just the instruments!!!
When is Temper Trap album coming out?
Awesome…..can’t wait for the album!
wow cant wait…. when is the album due for release
