<\/strong>is making the rounds right now and I couldn&#39;t have popped it into my computer fast enough &#8211; I was that excited. &#0160;Over the last six months, we&#39;ve heard snappy new tracks in the way of &quot;<strong>The World Does Not Revolve Around You&quot;<\/strong>, <strong>&quot;Bye Bye Baby&quot;<\/strong> and latest single <strong>&quot;Threads&quot;<\/strong> seeing the London band take a more mainstream pop approach to their music. &#0160;For fans of their epic first album, the deep and hard-hitting <strong>&quot;The Invisible Line&quot;<\/strong>, I think you&#39;ll be pleasantly surprised at how pop <strong>Temposhark<\/strong> play out in the new contemporary. &#0160;The band have most certainly evolved and have come to master the art of executing big pop melodies and infectious hooks. &#0160;As<strong> &quot;The Invisible Line&quot; <\/strong>was more of rebellious and slightly alternative collection, <strong>&quot;Threads&quot; <\/strong>encompases a more softer side to their music &#8211; making it more commercial and somewhat more accessible for listeners who may have been reluctant to fully embrace early classic <strong>Temposhark<\/strong> tracks like <strong>&quot;Joy&quot;<\/strong> and <strong>&quot;Knock Me Out&quot;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Standout tracks on <strong>&quot;Threads&quot;<\/strong> for me (aside from the aforementioned lead singles) are <strong>&quot;Stuck&quot;<\/strong> which is even a tad RnB pop influenced, something I think lead singer&#0160;<strong>Rob Diament<\/strong> probably wouldn&#39;t have imagined when initially setting out to write and record these new tracks. &#0160;<strong>&quot;Green Lights&quot;<\/strong> is quite simply a gorgeous and uplifting tale of personal freedom and escape &#8211; it&#39;s one of those songs that is so syncable that I can definitely imagine it getting picked up for numerous TV and movie spots &#8211; many of the tracks are already being played out on various MTV reality shows. &#0160;Opening track<strong> &quot;Irresistible&quot;<\/strong> is an instant catchy little number with big horns and big vocals that will make you devilishly grin. &#0160;Closing number <strong>&quot;The Last Time I Saw Matthew&quot;<\/strong> is a poignant and compelling song &#8211; albeit a bit sad, but a tale of lost and tortured love.<\/p>\n<p>It&#39;s hard to imagine that a band like <strong>Temposhark<\/strong> could actually get any better, but with<strong> &quot;Threads&quot;<\/strong> they have most certainly weaved their way into my earscape as standout pop pioneers and their poster is still firmly tacked up on my wall. &#0160;It will be a long time before I stop waxing fantastic about them. &#0160;What <strong>Robert Diament<\/strong> and producer <strong>Sean McGhee<\/strong> have created here is nothing short of a mini-masterpiece, one of the finest pop albums of 2010.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&quot;Threads&quot;<\/strong> is released on April 25th through independent label Paper &amp; Glue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Temposhark&#39;s new album &quot;Threads&quot; is making the rounds right now and I couldn&#39;t have popped it into my computer fast enough &#8211;
