The Temper Trap's debut is perhaps most widely known for its lead single, "Sweep Disposition," a pop anthem framed by the influence of
Jeff Buckley's falsetto and
U2's guitar delay. A similar sound also fuels the rest of Conditions, which takes additional cues from the sweeping, effects-laden strains of
Bends-era
Radiohead and
Coldplay. Released in 2009, this album was supported with a healthy international tour, which included standout performances at the Lollapalooza and Glastonbury festivals. ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi
