"Working with new artists is a bit like speed dating. You may have only just met them and very quickly they are baring quite personal things."

Toby from The Temper Trap analyses production techiques he has experienced and used, including Arctic Monkeys producer Jim Abbiss' tempo maps, that the Temper Trap use live, plus we discuss supporting The Rolling Stones and explore how the quantity of creative output is impacted when becoming a parent. Rest assured, Toby gives us his recommended workarounds. 

"It's a water and oil thing."
