Aussie expats The Temper Trap have released the second song from their upcoming self-titled album, which is out June 5th. The song is called ‘Trembling Hands’, and it’s a monster of a single, seemingly designed for the sole purpose of being played in huge stadiums which, if The Temper Trap’s current level of success is any indicator, it may well be eventually.

I called it ages ago: Foxes, also known as British musician Louisa Rose Allen, is going to reach Foster The People level of mainstream success, and it appears that she is already well on her way. The hype levels surrounding her single ‘Youth’ has reached a fever pitch, due in no small part to its inclusion on quite a few television shows as well as a constant stream of blog posts.

Since getting my hands on it I have become absolutely obsessed with one song in particular, ’Little Talks’.
