Kuru   Following the announcement of their fourth studio album Sungazer, out 10 July, The Temper Trap return today with fresh cut ‘These Arms’.    Sometimes songs arrive for The Temper Trap fully formed from their creative imagination and other times, they go through changes that transform them entirely. The latter was true for explosive indie anthem ‘These Arms’, which features a soaring chorus of group vocals and a driving drum groove. The song went through multiple iterations, only settling into its final form once it came time to record with producer Styalz Fuego.     “These Arms is a song about being a place someone can return to. Not a way out, not an answer, just something solid when everything else starts to slip. The demo was really chill and almost Radiohead-influenced. It centred on the pre-chorus line of “into these arms of mine,” which became a kind of delicate mantra. When we took it into the studio though, Styalz flipped it on its head and suddenly it became super groovy and bombastic. I still have a soft spot for the original but this final version packs a real punch.” says Dougy Mandagi of The Temper Trap.    Further cementing their global return, The Temper Trap were recently announced to support Muse on their upcoming North American tour, alongside major festival appearances at Outside Lands (San Francisco), Summerfest (Milwaukee) and Concerts In The Park (Sacramento) - sharing stages with the likes of The Strokes, RÜFÜS DU SOL and Charli XCX.      Soundtracking millennial youth through the 2010s with songs ‘Love Lost’ and billion-streamed anthem ‘Sweet Disposition’, and touring relentlessly across the world’s biggest festivals and stages, The Temper Trap collectively decided it was time to face their burnout in 2018, to rediscover their artistic identities, and live life.     Only when it felt right, after a four-year hiatus from touring and writing, did the band tentatively head back into the studio - and immediately felt an inspiring energy. Working between continents, sending demos back and forth, convening in Melbourne for studio dates, the resulting record delivers an impassioned and immediate sound.     Sungazer veers from yearning intimacy to full-throttle catharsis, from guitar-riffing indie tunes to heavy electronica, all anchored in Dougy Mandagi’s expansive, instantly recognisable voice. The band set out to create a record that authentically reflects who they are today, and it unequivocally distils two decades of experience into an album that is as invigoratingly surprising as it is unmistakably theirs.    Already clocking millions of streams and cracking top 30 US alternative radio charts, the songs we’ve heard from Sungazer so far - ‘Giving Up Air’, ‘Into The Wild’, ‘Lucky Dimes’ and ‘Sungazer’ - have already deeply resonated with fans across oceans and languages.   NORTH AMERICAN TOUR  07/04/26 – Milwaukee, WI @ Summerfest 2026  07/05/26 – Maryland Heights, MO @ The Wow Signal Tour – supporting Muse  07/07/26 – Noblesville, IN @ Ruoff Music Center – supporting Muse  07/10/26 – Tinley Park, IL @ Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre – supporting Muse  07/11/26 – Cincinnati, OH @ Riverbend Music Center – supporting Muse  07/13/26 – Clarkston, MI @ Pine Knob Music Theatre – supporting Muse  07/15/26 – Toronto, ON @ RBC Amphitheatre – supporting Muse  07/18/26 – Mansfield, MA @ Xfinity Center – supporting Muse  07/22/26 – Holmdel, NJ @ PNC Bank Arts Center – supporting Muse  07/24/26 – Saratoga Springs, NY @ Albany Med Health System at SPAC – supporting Muse  07/25/26 – Wantagh, NY @ Northwell at Jones Beach Theater – supporting Muse  07/28/26 – Columbia, MD @ Merriweather Post Pavilion – supporting Muse  07/29/26 – Camden, NJ @ Freedom Mortgage Pavilion – supporting Muse 08/09/26 – San Francisco, CA @ Outside Lands  08/10/26 – Charlotte, NC @ Truliant Amphitheater – supporting Muse  08/12/26 – Atlanta, GA @ Lakewood Amphitheatre – supporting Muse  08/14/26 – Dallas, TX @ Dos Equis Pavilion – supporting Muse  08/15/26 – Austin, TX @ Germania Insurance Amphitheater – supporting Muse  08/18/26 – Greenwood Village, CO @ Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre – supporting Muse  08/20/26 – West Valley City, UT @ Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre – supporting Muse  08/22/26 – Ridgefield, WA @ Cascades Amphitheater – supporting Muse  08/23/26 – Auburn, WA @ White River Amphitheatre – supporting Muse  08/26/26 – Wheatland, CA @ Toyota Amphitheatre – supporting Muse  08/27/26 – Mountain View, CA @ Shoreline Amphitheatre – supporting Muse  08/29/26 – Chula Vista, CA @ North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre – supporting Muse  08/31/26 – Los Angeles, CA @ Hollywood Bowl – supporting Muse
