After nearly a decade apart from the studio, the alt rock favorites The Temper Trap have made their long awaited return with their first new music in nine years: the powerful and unflinching single “Lucky Dimes.” The single, accompanied by an electrifying performance style video, is available everywhere out now. For a band whose songs like “Sweet Disposition” have famously soundtracked milestones for millions globally, this release is more than just a comeback; it truly feels like a homecoming, proving that some bonds only grow stronger with time. The track delivers a bolder, heavier twist on their signature indie rock sound, with Dougy Mandagi’s unmistakable, soaring voice cutting through scuzzy guitars and driving drums. Already a fan favorite at recent live shows, “Lucky Dimes” is the perfect first glimpse into what is set to be a highly anticipated new chapter.
The band worked with Grammy nominated Australian producer Styalz Fuego and co wrote the single, enlisting the legendary Spike Stent on the mix to push their sound into exciting new territory. Mandagi captured the sentiment perfectly, saying, “It’s good to know that, nine years after the last one, we still have something to say. Making this record has been a joy, we’re not here to relive the past, but to write the next chapter.” The band’s classic music has been finding new life in recent years, with their “Love Lost” collaboration with Mac Miller surpassing 400 million streams and “Sweet Disposition” being remixed by artists like John Summit and Lost Frequencies. With this exciting new music out now, The Temper Trap is ready to build upon their platinum certified legacy.
