A wave of critical reviews lands today for Australian indie-rock icons The Temper Trap, celebrating their fourth studio album Sungazer—their first new full-length release in roughly ten years.
The album kicks off with the abrasive distortion of opening track “Lucky Dimes” before opening up into acoustic strums, enveloping synth pads, and the soaring, widescreen choruses that initially propelled the band to international acclaim.
Balancing mature reflection with the grand atmospheric hooks that defined their breakout work, Sungazer proves that the Melbourne-formed outfit has retained its distinctive indie rock DNA across the intervening decade.
