Temper Trap Trap Producer By Chance
Temper Trap credits their catchy, hypnotic-atmospheric sound in part to their producer. Singer Dougie Mandagi says the Australian band feels fortunate they had Jim Abbiss at the helm for their debut album, "Conditions." Abbiss has also worked with such groups as Editors, Kasabian, and Arctic Monkeys. Mandagi says the pairing came about through a series of lucky breaks.
Mandagi notes that Abbiss got Temper Trap's demo purely by chance. He explains that Abbiss' manager was in Australia to check out another band sharing the bill with Temper Trap, and thought Temper Trap and Abbiss would work well together. Mandagi adds that Abbiss was just what his group needed. He explains, quote, "We always had the atmospherics and knew what we wanted it to sound like, but didn't have the equipment or know-how, so it's a good thing he came along." Temper Trap is currently promoting their debut album, "Conditions." |
