About
Upon its 2014 release, there weren’t many outward signs that The Peep Tempel’s second album would land much differently than its first, i.e. a record well-liked around Melbourne dive bar. But <i>Tales</i> packed a surprise game-changer in “Carol,” a four-minute standout so direct and pointed that it brought new swathes of punters to the band’s gig. Sinewy and lean, it sees a scorned lover railing against both his ex (the titular Carol) and her new beau (the much-maligned Trevor) in an ocker Aussie accent. It’s a tour de force for singer/guitarist Blake Scott’s layered lyrics and versatile voice, while “Vicki the Butcher” breaks in a different direction to sound more like a cockney slant on The Birthday Party. .
