The Temper Trap announces first new album in 10 years, ‘Sungazer’

The Temper Trap has announced the details of the band’s first album in 10 years.

The “Sweet Disposition” outfit’s long-awaited fourth studio effort, the follow-up to 2016’s Thick as Thieves, is called Sungazer and is due out July 10.

“With time apart and much personal growth from us all, Sungazer feels like it’s captured the most pure
collection of music we’ve ever made,” The Temper Trap says in a statement. “We had more fun making this record and in the writing room than on any of the previous records we’ve done.”

“We’re in a great place creatively and in our friendships, we’re closer than ever,” the band adds. “Being back into the studio together really felt like coming home.”

Sungazer includes the single “Giving Up Air,” which is currently charting on the Billboard Alternative Airplay tally, as well as the released songs “Into the Wild” and “Lucky Dimes.” The title track is also out now.

You can catch The Temper Trap live opening for Muse starting in July.
