Rookie

Adventurous, eccentric and stunningly melodic, Rookie is an album that leaves a distinct musical impression. With their debut release The Trouble With Templeton have crafted a record full of warmth and heart, whilst displaying a willingness to make music that?s not afraid to affect or surprise. As a result, the album is a whirling dervish of moods and colours, of tempos and genres, melodies and layers, tackling concepts behind relationships and the way unique human narratives emerge from different viewpoints. Musically, defining Rookie beyond a happily all-encapsulating idea like ?intelligent melodic alt-pop? isn?t worth the hassle. It?s an album that demands listening to in order to be understood.
