about

The Temporary features 11 songs brimming with succulent harmonies, catchy melodies and big choruses.

From the Beatles-speckled pizzazz of the title track to the infectious chorus of the upbeat Minute Steak, there’s something for all. Try Birds for some delectable harmonies, or Seashells for a dose of beautiful Scottish folk.

Then there’s the likes of Hand Grenade, a peppy rumination on the end of the world, or album closer Sister Sister, which crashes and swells to a haunting finale.
