The Temper Trap return with new single ‘Into The Wild’, the latest in a run of new music that has firmly re-established the band as one of Australia’s most enduring and globally recognised acts: euphoric anthem ‘Giving Up Air’ and its remix from iconic DJ/producer Solomun, bold indie-rock track ‘Lucky Dimes’, and a fresh take on ‘Sweet Disposition’ from German dance powerhouse BUNT.
‘Into The Wild’ encapsulates the duality of body and mind, and the existential yearning to transcend physical limits. Produced by Styalz Fuego (Troye Sivan, Charli XCX, Khalid) with Catherine Marks (Wolf Alice, boygenius, Manchester Orchestra) on mixing, it’s freeing, pulsing, soaring – Dougy's hypnotic falsetto floating over the top of undulating drums that draw the listener in and never let go.
Alongside the release is a surreal music video directed by emerging Melbourne creatives Joey Clough and Edvard Hakansson. A dreamlike car ride on wide open roads, cut with chaos and strangeness; the mind proves wilder and more uncontrollable than the world outside.
“After years of being apart and trying to find our groove again, ‘Into the Wild’ was the spark that lit the fire.” - The Temper Trap
The release lands off the back of a strong return to the global stage. Over the past year, the band have played sold-out headline shows in New York, Toronto, Los Angeles, London and Australia, alongside key festival slots at Beyond The Valley and Party In The Paddock. In late January, they made a standout return to international television, performing ‘Giving Up Air’ on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, marking a significant moment in this new chapter.
Released in 2025, ‘Giving Up Air’ and ‘Lucky Dimes’ have been clocking millions of streams whilst receiving global support, including landing in the top 40 US alternative radio charts, adds at triple j, Double j and commercial radio in Australia, Radio X and 6 Music support in the UK, and key stations throughout Europe.
If the past few months are anything to go by, this is still only the beginning of a much bigger return for The Temper Trap after a decade-long wait.
