So Temper Trap are from Melbourne - but they love Sydney. It's true. They're part of a growing breed that gloss over our Rugby players and prossies with beaches and babes. How can we not love them in return? Especially when Dougie is busting his lungs and Lorenzo's on the keys. We've waxed lyric about these ratbags before, so we won't bend too many ears now.

Describing music is, almost inevitably, a frustrating series of inadequate analogies. In the case of SONGS, my grey matter latched onto the following: Punk lilt and guitar-driven melodies that recall IS THIS IT-era Strokes. Vocals that channel a stripped-back Velvet Underground; driving rhythms that might have been picked up off the floor after The Wrens finished THE MEADOWLANDS; Constrained, Stooges-like brevity in a four-track EP.
