The Temper Trap Share First New Single In Nine Years, ‘Lucky Dimes'
The Temper Trap have shared a new single, entitled 'Lucky Dimes'. It marks the first new music from the band in almost a decade, having not put out music since the release of their third studio album Thick As Thieves back in 2016. The band worked with producer and songwriter Kaelyn Behr – AKA Styalz Fuego – on the new track, marking their first time working together. 'Lucky Dimes' appears to be the lead single from The Temper Trap's upcoming and as-yet-untitled fourth studio album, although details for that have not been officially shared by the band at the time of writing. 'It's good to know that nine years after the last one, we still have something to say,' said the band's frontman Dougy Mandagi in a press statement. 'It's been an absolute pleasure creating this record, and we can't wait to share it with you; not to relive the past, but to write the next chapter.' An accompanying music video for 'Lucky Dimes', directed by Joey Clough, can be viewed below. The Temper Trap – 'Lucky Dimes' Since the release of Thick As Thieves, the Melbourne pop-rock band have kept a relatively low-profile. They have played roughly 40 shows in total over the last seven years, either in Australia or New Zealand, which have included support slots for Imagine Dragons and Kings Of Leon, festivals such as Out Of The Woods and Changing Tides, and a run of headlining theatre shows in 2019 commemorating the 10-year anniversary of their debut album Conditions. The band returned to the news last month, when their signature song 'Sweet Disposition' was voted in at number 11 in triple j's Hottest 100 Of Australian Songs. The station described the song as a 'ubiquitous indie anthem we've come to hold deep in our hearts' when announcing its placement. 'We were all so green and inexperienced in making and performing music,' said Mandagi to the station. 'I guess 'Sweet Disposition' sort of encapsulated that moment in our lives perfectly.'

The Temper Trap break nine-year silence with new single ‘Lucky Dimes'
Don't miss out on the headlines from Music. Followed categories will be added to My News. Aussie global hitmakers The Temper Trap are back together after a nine-year hiatus with a surprise new song 'Lucky Dimes.' The quartet have been riding high on social media and streaming over the past 18 months with a succession of popular remixes of their 2009 smash 'Sweet Disposition'. The love for that song continues at home with 'Sweet Disposition' landing at No. 11 on Triple J's recent Hottest 100 Australian Songs poll. They also enjoyed a viral moment when TikTok fans resurfaced a track by late rapper Mac Miller which heavily sampled the Temper Trap's hit 'Love Lost' and now has more than 400 million streams. Frontman Dougy Mandagi blamed burnout and a fear of repeating themselves for the band's long break between their 2016 album Thick as Thieves and their return to the singles game with 'Lucky Dimes'.

'There was a little bit of burnout, but for me personally, I think I just couldn't see a path forward at the time where we would do something that would sound fresh and new and exciting,' he said from his London home. 'It just seemed like if we were going to get back in the studio … that we would just come out with more of the same and I didn't want to be in the studio for another 18 months doing Sweet Disposition 2.0. 'I needed to take a break and do other things and soak in more inspiration from life, the world, and different music, and I pursued a side project, a solo project as well, which was fun to do.' Mandagi got the band back together with Jonny Aherne, Toby Dundas and Joseph Greeran two years ago and have been steadily working on new songs as well as returning to festival stages. The Temper Trap have been enjoying viral success with Sweet Disposition remixes. Picture: Supplied. He said the older, wiser quartet were closer both personally and professionally after the members spent almost a decade pursuing their own creative endeavours and raising their respective children. 'I think the band is in a much better place now, we're closer than we've ever been,' Mandagi said. 'I would dare say that we actually had even more fun writing this record than we did the first record, when we first got together. 'It's cool, we've just been through a lot in life, we all have families now and I guess there's less ego in the room.' The band are working out tour dates in Australia for early 2026. Picture: Supplied. The darker-edged 'Lucky Dimes' has a 90s electronic rock vibe similar to Garbage, who have just announced their return to Australia for the first tour in a decade with the Good Things festival. The band worked with Grammy-nominated Aussie producer Styalz Fuego whose credits include hits with Troye Sivan, Charli XCX and Khalid. 'I'm a 90s child so I was the right age to receive all that good music. So yeah, we're just tapping into stuff we like,' he said. The single is out now with The Temper Trap still confirming plans to return for an Australian tour in early 2026.

The Temper Trap Return With 'Lucky Dimes'
The Temper Trap today share their first new music in nine years, with single 'Lucky Dimes' signalling a definitive return for the globally acclaimed band. 'Lucky Dimes' arrives fresh off a #11 placing for iconic hit 'Sweet Disposition' in triple j's Hottest 100 Australian Songs of all time. It follows a wave of recent collaborations and reworks of the band's music, including 'Love Lost' with Mac Miller (400 million streams) and a steady stream of 'Sweet Disposition' remixes from the likes of John Summit, Vintage Culture, VXSION and Lost Frequencies. With 'Lucky Dimes', The Temper Trap add a bolder, heavier edge to their signature indie-rock sound, frontman Dougy Mandagi's unmistakable vocals cutting through a storm of scuzzy guitars and thumping drum beats. Already a stand-out and important addition to their recent live shows, its release is accompanied by an exhilarating performance-style video directed by Melbourne-based creative Joey Clough. Opting to evolve rather than follow convention, The Temper Trap took a forward-thinking approach to new music, collaborating with Grammy-nominated local producer Styalz Fuego (Troye Sivan, Charli XCX, The Knocks, Khalid). 'Lucky Dimes' was co-written with Styalz and mixed by revered English producer and engineer Spike Stent.

It's been an absolute pleasure creating this record and we can't wait to share it with you, not to relive the past but to write the next chapter.' – Dougy Mandagi It was 2009 when the then little-known band from Melbourne, Australia, burst onto the scene with the release of their seminal debut album Conditions, and a song called 'Sweet Disposition'. Their emotive, cinematic soundscapes – expansive yet still accessible - resonated quickly with fans across the globe. 'Sweet Disposition' topped charts worldwide, with platinum certifications in Australia, America, Europe and the UK. Popular follow-ups 'Love Lost', 'Science of Fear' and 'Fader' cemented the band's new-found status as one of the most sought after acts in the world. Soon, The Temper Trap were playing sold-out headline shows across oceans and hitting some of the biggest festival stages globally – including Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Primavera, Big Day Out, Laneway Festival and more. Years on, with well over a billion streams and three albums to their name (including two ARIA #1's The Temper Trap and Thick As Thieves), their music continues to inspire. Recent times have seen a resurgence of love for the band including the aforementioned 'Love Lost' collab on Mac Miller's posthumously re-released Faces mixtape, a slew of remixes for 'Sweet Disposition' totalling hundreds of millions of streams, and a feature from Dougy on a rework of Moby's cult classic 'Extreme Ways'. 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. Now, with the release of 'Lucky Dimes' - the first in a string of music to follow - The Temper Trap embark on an exciting new era, one that promises to resonate as deeply as the songs that first captivated the world 15 years ago.
