NEW SINGLE “FALL TOGETHER” OUT TODAY

12 APRIL 2016 (Toronto, ON) Today, The Temper Trap announced their eagerly awaited third album Thick As Thieves which will be released  June 10 on Glassnote Records/Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. Thick As Thieves (available now to pre-order) marks the first time The Temper Trap has collaborated with outside songwriters in their history, with striking results. Justin Parker (Lana Del Rey, Sia, Bat For Lashes) worked on the anthemic first single “Fall Together”, whilst the album also features collaborations with Ben Allen (Animal Collective, Deerhunter), Malay (Frank Ocean) and Pascal Gabriel (Ladyhawke, Goldfrapp). Working with these exceptional producers and co-writers allowed The Temper Trap to explore a new musical ground while remaining true to their inimitable signature sound. The band are set to return to the live arena this summer, with a series of intimate shows and a string of festival dates in Australia and Europe before making their triumphant return to North America.  To date, The Temper Trap has streamed more than 200 million times on Spotify and 20 million times on YouTube. They first came to prominence in 2009 with their acclaimed debut album Conditions, which propelled by the global hits “Sweet Disposition”, “Fader” and “Love Lost”, saw them land onto the charts worldwide. The band’s self-titled second album, The Temper Trap, spawned the hits “Trembling Hands” and “Need Your Love”. This lead them to catch the attention of the likes of Coldplay, Africa Express and The Rolling Stones, all of whom asked the band to join them on tour while also gracing the stages of major festivals including Glastonbury, Lollapalooza and Coachella. They have also been nominated (and won) a number of prestigious ARIA Awards, as well as receiving a nomination for best international group at the BRIT Awards. Thick As Thieves Track Listing: 1.
