Have you ever had the feeling of breaking out of a repetitive cycle? As one little fixation which has been inhibiting your every thought and keeping you grounded fades into the past. The feeling of pure relief as an inner struggle is conquered is not only empowering, it makes you feel fucking alive and glad to be kicking around on this planet we call Earth. Well Melbourne foursome The Temper Trap achieve this and more with their captivating brand of melancholy indie rock. Their sound is driven by lead singer Dougy's soaring vocals which are sweet but also have an underlying haunting resonance to them. This coupled with melodic, ringing guitars creates a sound which is both empowering and haunting whilst making me feel fucking alive! Here is their latest single Science of Fear live thanks to Radio 1. That voice is truly epic.
You can catch them at V Fest @ the Claremont showgrounds on the 5th of April and their debut album is due out hopefully sometime this year. Enjoy.
