Track Review: Tempesst - 'A Little Bit of Trouble'

 

Towards the end of last year, we featured London-based psych-pop outfit Tempesst's fantastic debut EP.  They are now back after earning widespread praise throughout the UK leading to support dates with Temper Trap and Albert Hammond Jr. 'A Little Bit of Trouble' is the first single off their forthcoming second EP titled 'Doomsday'.

The progress the band have made since their previous release is plain to hear. Sonically, 'A Little Bit of Trouble' is a lot denser and lush than other efforts, introducing string sections and fantastic reverberated percussion hits that hauntingly resonate through the track. Tempesst's signature high-pitched backing vocals return right from the start here before the infectious, Arctic Monkeys-style groove is introduced.


The chorus is incredibly catchy and the 60s and 70s influences shine through whilst still feeling incredibly current. The orchestral arrangement is also a touch of class. The brilliance of the overall sound is amplified tenfold by the fantastic guitar leads and amazing lead vocals. With the full EP tracked in just four days, the in-the-moment, organic process highlights the band's live, raw and untethered aesthetic, which rivals counterparts like Tame ImpalaUnknown Mortal Orchestra and Caveman.

On their return, Tempesst have really come back with a bang. 'A Little Bit of Trouble' is easily their most accomplished work so far. With teasers like this, we can't wait to hear the rest of the band's future releases.
