Oh look! The Temper Trap’s self-titled second album is released this May 21st. That’s around my cousin’s birthday. Sadly, he doesn’t like good music, so I’ll probably buy this for myself and get him Meatloaf’s Greatest Hits or some shit.
You’ll remember Temper Trap from their massive debut album Conditions, and their epic-as-the-book-of-revelations song Sweet Disposition. This is the Aussie’s first album as a five-piece, and as they’ve been working with producer Tony Hoffer (of Beck, The Thrills, and Phoenix fame), expect a blistering piece of work.
Here’s a taster: album track Rabbit Hole, set to some attractive, swirling paint. At least I hope that’s paint. That’s not milk, is it? God, I hope that’s not milk.
The Temper Trap will play The Phoenix Park this July 8th with Snow Patrol and Florence and The Machine. It’s sold out. If you live nearby, maybe open a window?
