Bryan Copland Wins Our August Competition
Congratulations to Bryan for his winning review of "Conditions" by The Temper Trap
A £50 Amazon Voucher is on its way to him. Well done Bryan. This is a short excerpt from his review.
As Dougy Mandagi's sultry falsetto confidently offers, "Our love was lost, but now we've found it," on the opening bars of The Temper Trap's debut album 'Conditions' against a gorgeous backdrop of chirpy keyboard, you know you have found music to love again.
My love for music was a little lost before hearing this album; two years down the line and it's only just made it onto my MP3 player. But when it's a piece of work as dramatic, yet instantly catchy and romantic as this, who cares about time? And with the Australians working towards their follow-up, due for release later this year, now is as good a time as any to bask in its glory.
Too often, a band's downfall is their lack of versatility - a seeming inability to really mix it up and broaden the spectrum. The Temper Trap nearly get there on this 2009 album, with some simply stunning melody intertwined with real passion, thoughtful guitars and soaring synths. It's an album you listen to, and change which track is your favourite each time
