Australia’s Temper Trap began, like so many other mid-century groups, as post-punk revivalists, but they know how to pull off a big moment better than most of their peers. Their 2009 debut album, Conditions, has emerged as a modest hit, largely on the back of its shimmering single “Sweet Disposition,” a flashy, U2-styled skyscraper that has memorably appeared in commercials for (500) Days of Summer, Rhapsody.com, several TV shows and, most recently, Diet Coke, on an ad that aired during the Academy Awards and has given the song additional tail wind on the digital charts.
