tauiwi Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 The Temper Trap are a great new band coming out of Melbourne, Australia. They are currently residing in the UK, and their sound as been compared to that of Coldplay and U2. The band finished recording their debut album with veteran music producer Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian) in March of 2009 in London, after 4 weeks recording the bulk of the album in Melbourne in late 2008. These are their releases, with their debut album due out June 19th in Australia. There is a lot of hype surrounding them, and they are being labelled the 'best thing to come out of Australia' in the past 10 years. 2006: The Temper Trap [Ep] 2008: Sweet Disposition [single] 2009: Science Of Fear [single] 2009: Conditions (Out June 19) Also, The BBC chose The Temper Trap on its top 15 Sound of 2009. Has anyone else heard them, and liked their music?

tauiwi Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 I heard them live when they were supporting Franz Ferdinand in Melb back in January. I was very impressed. They have the 'stadium' sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 i've been reading some very very mixed reviews of their debut album. their EP's and recent singles have set the bar extremely high for this album. i'm not going to settle with the reviews, i'll this record a listen myself when it comes out. but ive got the feeling i will be dissapointed. and according to that review, Sweet Disposition is about as good as it gets, sooo ehh i dunno.

deaths_friend Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 listened to another 3 tracks (cant remember the names) from the album tonight. not exactly blown away by them, some are rather plain. nonetheless i will give the album a chance when it comes out next week.

Famous Old Painter Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Erm... :thinking: http://www.abc.net.au/rage Edit - Nevermind, it appears they're re-made the video. Why? Who knows, seems a bit pointless to me seeing as Sweet Disposition wasn't released that long ago. Wouldn't it make more sense to release a new track as the next single?

deaths_friend Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 i guess they think they can stir up alot of attention by flogging the life out of Sweet Disposition. having heard about half of the album so far, sweet disposition is heads and shoulders above everything else. triple j has hardly supported this band and i think thats going to make it alot harder for them to make the big time. they chose the new Gossip album over temper trap as the feature album of this week.

deaths_friend Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 *raises hands in submission* i have been proven wrong. this album is pretty awesome maybe not the best aussie album of the year but its bloody good. they have a bit of decoder ring in them. a solid 7.5/10 from me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famous Old Painter Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hm... I'm the opposite. I expected great things from this record and was quite disappointed. The only track I really like is Science of Fear and I prefer the single version. Rest is also pretty good, really catchy but you have to admit the song itself is a bit of a joke.
