Temper Trap putting final touches to album two
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 6 March 2012
The Temper Trap are currently in California putting the finishing touches on their second album, the follow-up to 2009’s ‘Conditions’. Produced by Tony Hoffer, the as-yet-untitled record is due for release this summer.
Guitarist Lorenzo Sillitto told Triple J Magazine: “I think the exciting part about it is that when you have one record it’s very limiting as to what sort of [live] set you can do, and so we’re excited about expanding the set and being able to play a little longer, being able to change it up. We’ve recorded seventeen songs, obviously not all [of those] will go on the record, but it’ll give us a lot of leeway when it comes to playing the shows”.
Asked to pick out a highlight from the new songs, he added: “There’s a song called ‘Trembling Hands’, it’s probably the closest thing to the stuff on the last record. It has a really anthemic feel to it, and Dougie’s vocals really get up there and soar from start to finish. We’re all pretty excited about that one. It’s a good step back in, cos we have made some changes. We’ve tried to broaden our sound a little bit”.
