The Temper Trap - Fader

The Temper Trap - Fader

Repeat Repeat Repeat!

The Temper Trap was truly one of my favourite shows at this years Hove Festival. You know there is always one or two shows at a festival that just makes you stand there smiling your face off. This was one of them. Their slot was early daytime and i was miles away from the festival this morning in a cabin. Stressed alot to drag my ass to the festival area and wouldnt reach it anyway it seemed. But then i got notice that the show was moved til 1 at night or something, meaning that i would be able to see it and get proper buzzed before it started! Hooray!

Their debut album is out now!
Stream the album on their myspace. Be sure to check out 'Sweet Disposition' and 'Science Of Fear' as they are just as good as 'Fader'.

A little bit about the artists:

Mouth - A band that consist of some of the people behind Untz Untz Records + friends. The original version of 'Leather Pants' is produced by our very own label co-owner/music producer Touchable Terrence.
The vocal is by Espen Kåsa who joins Mouth live sometimes with his voice and a guitar.

Pelifics - Oslo's finest ambassador of neo-italo/Valerie'ish music. Him beeing half Italian doesnt hurt his credibility either when making Italo music. Pelifics is also a rather successful graphic designer.

Velferd - Our very own fjord-disko prince here in Bergen. Signed to Untz Untz Records this spring. He is also a part of a great band called The New Wine, where he plays keyboards like there is no tomorrow. Check out the live bass on his Leather Pants remix!

Solli Diskoklubb - A new and promising disko dude from Oslo called Mikkel Haraldstad. He got loads of great tracks lined up in his myspace! Mikkel delivers a fine slow-mo disco remix. He just released a digital single called 'Trekkfugl' via Houselectiv Records. Buy it!

Chmmr - Trondheim based dj/producer Even! He is one of the guys behind the SKURK clubnight that has its home at SUPA in Trondheim. Buy his own productions via his New Slam Records here!

Clueless - Some (we) would say he is Norways best kept dubstep/future garage secret. But not for long! He got riddiculously amount of hits(over a million!) on his youtube site where he puts out most of his remixes and tracks. Clueless just released some tracks on both Night Audio and LS2 Recordings.

Stöv - A electropop band from Bergen started by dj/producer/graphic designer Jørgen Håland. Jørgen delivers not just one but TWO remixes of Leather Pants. They both shake you up pretty hard. He also did the cover for the Leather Pants Remixed EP. Thank you!


So what is your favourite?

“You may know Joakim Bouaziz from his 2007 album Monsters & Silly Songs, a sui generis fusion of disco, post-punk and pop that became something of an instant cult classic. You may know him for his remixes of artists like Cut Copy, Simian Mobile Disco, Annie, Alter Ego, DJ Mehdi, Royksopp and Poni Hoax. You may know him from his years behind the scenes at Tigersushi, the iconic Parisian label at the crossroads between post-punk, dance music and the avant-garde. But whatever you think you know about Joakim, prepare to be very surprised by this, his third studio album. Frankly, prepare to be blown away: the opening “Back to Wilderness” takes care of that with eight minutes of sturm-und-klang dirge that’s more Black Sabbath than Black Devil, more Sonic Youth than Sleeping Bag. And that’s just the intro. Over the course of a tidy 51 minutes, Joakim and his band mates fold together bits of psychedelia, old-school computer music, exotica, electro-pop, blues, new wave, New Pop, Krautrock and more into an expansive, remarkably coherent album that refuses to be reduced to a single genre, much less a single idea. This is no pastiche: these are proper songs, and the whole album follows the kind of overall arc that’s rare in a contemporary longplayer. “Spiders” is the first single off the album, with six delirious minutes of Italo arpeggios, fluid vocal harmonies, acid-house snares and an extended Afro-pop breakdown that perfectly sum up the record’s madcap, magpie spirit. A few tracks — “Travel In Vain”, “King Kong Is Dead” — remain essentially unadulterated, capturing the live band in full flame. Others, with their complex, interlocking layers of guitars, synthesizers, beats and vocals, reflect Joakim’s role as architect — but the final form is as surprising to him as anyone. “I think that most (young) artists today are like archaeologists, especially in graphics and contemporary art,” says Joakim. “You can’t compete with history, with what’s been done. You need to use that, in” - text by Word&Sound
