The Temper Trap Makes Comeback with New Single ‘Lucky Dimes’ After Nine Years

## The Temper Trap Returns with “Lucky Dimes”

The Temper Trap is officially back on the music scene. After a nine-year hiatus since their last release, the ARIA chart-toppers have unveiled “Lucky Dimes,” a powerful single that introduces a more intense and gritty twist to their beloved anthemic sound.

## A Bold Comeback

Lead vocalist Dougy Mandagi’s distinctive voice pierces through a mix of raw guitars and thumping drums. This track, which has already been tested at recent live performances, is paired with an exhilarating performance video directed by Melbourne’s Joey Clough.

### Collaboration with Industry Giants

“Lucky Dimes” was produced and co-written with Grammy-nominated hitmaker Styalz Fuego, known for his work with Troye Sivan, Charli XCX, and Khalid. The track was mixed by prominent English producer Spike Stent. This release marks the initial glimpse of more new music on the horizon.

Mandagi expressed his excitement, stating, “Good to know that nine years after our last release, we still have something to say. 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.”

## Renewed Interest in Their Back Catalogue

The launch of “Lucky Dimes” coincides with a resurgence of interest in The Temper Trap’s past work. Notably, their classic “Sweet Disposition” recently made it to No. 11 in a popular countdown of Australian songs, benefiting from remixes by notable artists like John Summit and Vintage Culture.

Their debut album, *Conditions*, and the hit song “Sweet Disposition” continue to attract listeners, contributing to their impressive streaming numbers, which exceed a billion plays. Collaborations, such as “Love Lost” with Mac Miller, and Dougy Mandagi’s recent feature on a reimagining of Moby’s “Extreme Ways,” have also helped introduce their sound to new fans.

### A Legacy of Success

Since they burst onto the music scene 15 years ago, The Temper Trap has secured two ARIA No. 1 albums, *The Temper Trap* and *Thick as Thieves*, achieving platinum certifications across various continents. Their dynamic performances have graced main stages at major festivals like Glastonbury and Lollapalooza.

With “Lucky Dimes,” The Temper Trap is not looking back but is instead laying the groundwork for a new era that promises to be as impactful as their earlier work. Fans can expect touring news to follow soon.
