After causing a stir on Australian radio late last year with their single Sweet Disposition, Melbourne’s own indie-rockers The Temper Trap have delivered a seriously slick and accomplished debut long-player in Conditions. This is a solid batch of tunes. Indeed, anyone of them could have been chosen as a single, such is the credit on offer. Expect soaring U2-esque guitars, huge choruses, air-tight rhythm section and even a sprinkling of Arcade Fire style sing-a-long on stand-out track Down River.

The band prove they’re not just about stadium-rock though, with beautifully stripped-back Soldier On and gentle mid-tempo Fools providing the perfect foil to the more layered approach taken on rockers such as Fader, with its insanely catchy ‘woo-hoo’ chorus. I’d expect The Temper Trap to be Australia’s next big export. Jump on board while they’re still ours!
