Lifted from their self-titled sophomore album, This Isn’t Happiness has a twitchy break beat rhythm and a very strange vocal – possibly not that strange for fans of The Temper Trap, but odd and direct and vaguely Simply Reddish for those of us who know them only or mostly for Sweet Disposition. Oh wait…it’s because he’s not singing in falsetto on this track. Interesting. The New Romantic/adult contemporary tenor really works for them.
