Artist of the Month | The Temper Trap, Conditions

First of all, how did I miss this?
The Temper Trap came out with their first full length album, Conditions, last fall.
It apparently slipped off my radar.  Fortunately J extended the signal a bit and I picked it up just last week.
One reason for the slip is that they're all the way in Australia.  Which is actually all the more reason I should know them, right?
These guys are sort of  Doves meet Coldplay with some Arcade Fire and U2 thrown in there.
The mix of rock guitars and melodic tunes makes it perfect background or foreground music.
