THE TEMPER TRAP announce AIM Awards show at the Lexington on 24th August
Reveal new song SO MUCH SKY
New album THICK AS THIEVES out now
The Temper Trap today announce an intimate show at the Lexington on Wednesday 24th August, one in a special series of AIM Independent Music Awards gigs, curated by industry Judges. Radio X have invited The Temper Trap to headline their curated gig, and tickets for the show go on sale at 9am on Friday 17th June. The Australian four-piece also debut a new session video for So Much Sky, the latest in a string of videos filmed in Melbourne earlier this year. So Much Sky is lifted from their third album Thick As Thieves, out this week via Infectious Music.
Thick As Thieves sees the Temper Trap collaborating with outside songwriters for the first time in their history, with striking results. Justin Parker (Lana Del Rey, Sia, Bat For Lashes), Ben Allen (Animal Collective, Deerhunter), Pascal Gabriel (Ladyhawke, Goldfrapp) and Malay (co-writer & producer of Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange) all collaborated with the band to explore new musical ground while remaining true to their inimitable signature sound.
Praise for Thick of Thieves:

“Songs filled with hope, raw energy and passion” - The Independent
“A monster - highly polished, filled with huge, arm-waving choruses” - Evening Standard
“Anthemic 80s style pop with a whisper of U2 about it” - Metro

The Temper Trap have sold more than one million albums and their songs have been streamed more than 200 million times on Spotify and 20 million times on YouTube. They came to prominence in 2009 with their acclaimed debut Conditions, which, propelled by the global hits Sweet Disposition, Fader and Love Lost, saw them crash land into the charts in their native Australia, their adopted homeland of the UK, and worldwide. The band’s self-titled second album spawned the hits Trembling Hands and Need Your Love, and caught the attention of the likes of Coldplay, Africa Express and the Rolling Stones, all of whom asked the band to join them on tour, whilst they also graced the stages of major festivals including Glastonbury, Lollapalooza and Coachella. In between they were nominated and won a number of prestigious ARIA Awards in Australia, as well as receiving a nomination for best international group at the BRIT Awards.
Fresh from a sold out run of UK shows, The Temper Trap return to Europe this summer for festivals, including Secret Garden Party and Reading & Leeds; see thetempertrap.com for full dates.
