On their upcoming second album, The Temper Trap, Australian band The Temper Trap look to build on the grandiose sound and success of their previous album, Conditions, and the breakout hit “Sweet Disposition.” Kicking off with the first single “Need Your Love,” The Temper Trap set the tone for the record with bombastic synths, barreling drums and piercing guitars. “Trembling Hands” starts with sparse piano chords before erupting into a falsetto battle against loneliness, while later cut “Where Do We Go from Here” takes a steady 4×4 beat and playful synth licks straight to the dance floor. With new fifth member Joseph Greer on keyboards and guitar, The Temper Trap have added another dramatic layer to an already emotionally triumphant sound. The Temper Trap is out June 5th in the U.S. on Glassnote/Columbia.
