The Buzz On: The Temper Trap

The Temper Trap may or may not get big, but damned if they don't already sound big. The Australian band, led by singer/guitarist Dougy Mandagi, makes expansive, propulsive anthems ready-made for arenas and festivals. I will go out on a limb (see me out there/) and say that I haven't heard a band that sound this epic and sprawling and accessible since Coldplay got all "Yellow." It's been a case of accelerated development for the band. In the last two years they've played the Glastonbury Festival, worked with DJ Shadow and recorded their debut album, Conditions. Check out the video for their beautiful track "Sweet Dispositions" (which calls to mind a holy union of Thom Yorke's vocals and The Edge's guitar sound), which you may remember if you saw the Joseph-Gordon-Levitt-Zooey-Deschanel-sittin'-in-a-tree flick, (500) Days Of Summer.
