The Temper Trap arrived in 2009 with a collection defined by soaring vocal melodies and propulsive energy. These tracks merge dense rhythmic structures with a sense of intimacy that balances the larger-than-life presentation of the songs.

Production efforts focus on shimmering guitar layers and synth-heavy motifs common to the new wave revival of the era. This material marks a distinct moment when alternative rock moved from the clubs to the large-scale stages of international music festivals.
