The Temper Trap - Conditions

The Temper Trap:
Conditions
Release Date: Aug 20 2009
Label: Liberation Music
Genre: Alternative Rock

Sound-Revolution Rating:
4.1


‘Science of Fear’ and ‘Sweet Disposition’, released earlier this year, introduced the world to Australia’s newest alternative rock four-piece. Consisting of melodious guitars, with lead singer, Mandagi’s falsetto vocals over intensified rhythms, ‘Conditions’ brings an album of epic breakdowns and engrossingly powerful song structure.

Un-commercial could be a name adopted by the band, but non-generic would be much more reasonable. To the open-minded, ‘Conditions’ is a well crafted album with extremely powerful vocals, enough to make the hairs on the back of ones neck stand up.

‘Conditions’ debuted at number 9 in the Australian charts, being released in the UK on the 10th August. Hopefully The Temper Trap will be as successful in the UK and across the globe, despite their differentiation from indie and alternative rock making it big presently.
