Number 29 - The Temper Trap - Conditions (2009) - Best Australian albums of the 80's-NOW!

The Temper Trap are Dougy Mandagi, Jonathon Aherne, and Toby Dundas. The trio formed in 2005.  

Conditions was the debut studio album, released on 19 June 2009. It was later released in the United Kingdom on 10 August 2009. 

The album debuted at number nine on the Australian Albums Chart, where it has been certified platinum, and peaked at number 25 on the UK Albums Chart, largely due to the success of the debut single Sweet Disposition, which peaked at number six on the singles chart.

The song Science of Fear was featured in the EA Sports video game FIFA 10 and the Codemasters racing game DiRT 2.

The album was completed in March 2009 in a final London Session with Abbiss, following a previous four-week stint at Melbourne's Sing Sing Studios with renowned Australian producer Kalju Tonuma who engineered the album.

At the ARIA Music Awards of 2010 in November, The Temper Trap won Best Group and Most Popular Australian Single for Sweet Disposition.

We are now in the top 30 Best Australian albums of the 80's-NOW! Only a few more weeks left. It's almost time for the magic top 25. In the meantime if you want the full 50-26 list, go here.

Almost time for me to depart to Thailand, so posts maybe limited, or increase, depending on the weather, my mood, the moon. See you then!
