New Year, New Music, New Resolution

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I know it may seem as if I've abandoned this little blog at times, but as the New Year is upon us, I find myself with new inspiration.

Recently I've been going through the music I've had for quite some time, and I found myself falling in love all over again with The Temper Trap's self-titled album from 2013. In fact, I was actually listening to it as I 'celebrated' the New Year (if sitting at home reading with a glass of wine constitutes as celebrating).

The album is a favorite of mine, and I have been meaning to blog about it for the longest time (read as: since I first listened to it). I find many of the tracks to be quite calming, and though the lyrics may have a much deeper/insightful meaning, the melodies leave me feeling wistful and slightly nostalgic (surprisingly), and the vocals are soothing, creating a wonderfully calm and thoughtful vibe.

The album features track's such as 'Trembling Hands' and 'Need Your Love', as well as personal favorites of mine, including 'The Sea is Calling' and 'Dreams'.

Since releasing this album, the Melbourne based band has spent 2014 touring, and featured at the New Years Eve celebrations in Sydney (SydNYE), and are looking forward to another year of a similar outlook (perhaps with a new album? Hmm... Well, maybe).

If you'd like to keep up with all the events and information regarding The Temper Trap, you can follow them on various .social .media .accounts, and view touring details here.

As for other news, I'm looking forward to hearing what music artists can come up with this year. Hopefully something a little less... Bass? Yeah, that's right, because you know what? Bass is so last year. How 'bout acoustics this year? or a Capella? Why not!
Yeah, I know, I ask too much.
There's always hope...
maybe?

Keep listening, I hope you enjoy the year as much as I plan to do.
