The Temper Trap

The Temper Trap

Melbourne’s celebrated epic pop act tore through 2009 on the strength of songs like “Sweet Disposition” and “Fader”. These snippets of cosmic alt-pop took them around the globe and now they’ve settled down for their second album. This self-titled effort luckily keeps the same spirit of woozy celebration throughout and is dominated by headstrong cuts like “London’s Burning”, “Need Your Love” and “Dreams” that spotlight the band’s powerhouse pop. Other moments like “Rabbit Hole” and “Miracle” scale back the glitz and showcase Dougie Mandagi’s elastic vocals and fragile eloquence.
