A lot of water has passed under the bridge since The Temper Trap's delay soaked opening to Sweet Disposition first began causing a stir on Australian radio late last year. The track was the first taster of their recording sessions with UK producer Jim Abbiss (UNKLE, Adele, Arctic Monkeys) and it clearly made the world sit up and take notice. The track instantly won the band a steady stream of influential fans around the globe. Following a handful of much lauded dates in the UK & US in November, the band's star rose quickly winning coveted spots on '09 tip lists by the BBC, NME & XFM, scoring rotation from influential BBC hosts Zane Lowe and Steve Lamacq, as well recording a stunning four track live session for the BBC's Introducing series. Having just completed a slew of electrifying US shows in late March, including a hugely successful SXSW campaign that saw their name listed in countless media/blogs highlights lists, the band returns to their native Australia to perform at the V Festival and select headline dates before relocating to London in mid April and commencing a journey that one suspects is well and truly just beginning. |
