Album review: The Temper Trap – Conditions

Conditions takes the psyche through different moods. 'Love Lost' introduces a unique subtle style with the light tinkle of the keyboard and vocals that swiftly move into the edgier rock that only appears during the chorus.

The acclaimed Sweet Disposition then takes the consciousness through an eclectic melody fused with both soft and vibrant tunes. Ironically, the sound is very opposite to the visual of the cover on the CD case, which is literally dark and depressing. Half way through the album the sound moves to shouty 'indie rock'. Science of Fear and Drum Song completely swap the ambience for bass that would certainly have beers vibrating in a dark, grimy bars. Obviously, conditions change...massively.
