The Temper Trap return today 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.

More about The Temper Trap

Few Australian bands of the past two decades have achieved the longevity of The Temper Trap. Across three studio albums, including two ARIA #1 debuts, the band have amassed well over two billion streams worldwide. Their seminal 2009 debut Conditions introduced ‘Sweet Disposition’, a song that not only topped charts internationally and achieved multi-platinum certification across Australia, New Zealand, the US and UK, but has become part of Australian music culture – placing #11 in triple j’s Hottest 100 Australian Songs of All Time. One of the most sought-after acts in the world, the band have hit some of the biggest festival stages globally, including Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Primavera, Big Day Out and Laneway Festival.

Recent times have seen a resurgence of love for the band including a ‘Love Lost’ collab on Mac Miller’s posthumously re-released Faces mixtape and a slew of remixes for ‘Sweet Disposition’ (from the likes of John Summit, Vintage Culture, VXSION, Lost Frequencies and BUNT.). These new iterations of the band’s original hits have solidified their popularity with an entirely new generation of fans, re-introducing them to dancefloors and charts worldwide.
