I kind of think that “Sweet Disposition” by Australian band The Temper Trap is one of those songs that everyone knows and loves. A great example of this was at Coachella as we were walking to see the band. I was trying to explain to my cousin’s friend who The Temper Trap sounds like, unsuccessfully, because she had never heard of them. But as soon as the song started, she screamed, “I LOVE this song!” We’ve actually already featured a great remix of this tune by Mr. Alan Wilkis before, but now we’ve got another fantastic take on the tune by our friend Andre Anjos, better known as RAC. This one actually reigns the song back a bit, removing that really quick rhythm that permeates throughout the track. Instead, we are treated to some nice synth overtones that sort of become more apparent as the tune goes on. It’s kind of how this song would sound had it been written in another era, but the interesting part is I cant tell if it sounds like a throwback or the next generation. In the times of Saved by the Bell, is this the original middle school version, the one with Miss Bliss, whose niece young Zack Morris falls in love with, only to find out that she leads a double life as rock star Stevie? Or is it a look into the future, to The College Years at a time when dorm rooms and suites were so much bigger than they are today, and co-ed!? You decide.
