The Temper Trap
One of the amazing discoveries I've made recently from my searches online for pleasure & for work is this amazing Australian band. In the crazy whirlwind of getting back to work after a few months off, The Temper Trap's album Conditions has been a point of solace and pure joy. Their sound is unique, as if you took a splash of Radiohead and TV On The Radio, mixed that with a hint of Phoenix and a strangely enough, a dollap of the eeriness in Sigur Ros. Each song sounds like a clip from a movie, whether it's a soundtrack to a love story, or a flash of a desert road trip. The final confirmation that this band was headed to the top of my list was hearing that a fellow Melbourne-ian, Daniel Merriweather, is a huge fan (I'll have to post about him and his special performance for our show this past week soon! It was a-ma-zing). The best thing about them, besides the music - they'll be at Coachella this year! (and you can only imagine the excited countdown I've got going over here)
PS - If you recognize "Sweet Disposition," but you can't place it -- it's from the trailer for the film 500 Days of Summer ;)
