Album Review: The Trouble With Templeton –Six Months In A Cast

Thomas Calder's growth from a solo act, to a duo, a trio and now a five-piece has created a deeper and more emotive sound, complementing his effortless vocals. Despite the calm nature of his tone, we hear Calder's desperation in the beautifully frantic vocals of Six Months In A Cast.

The new-look Trouble With Templeton have experimented with a faster paced strum pattern and a drum beat that carries the track through the beautiful storytelling. Building to a climactic chorus, Calder sings out “It's too late” with a beautiful rich belt, before the song helplessly breaks down for the final instrumental minute.

It's so beautiful to hear the new musicality of the group match the originator's full and melodic voice.
