Kuru   The Temper Trap today release their highly anticipated fourth studio album Sungazer, marking a bold new chapter for one of Australia’s most beloved and globally recognized bands.   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.   Alongside the album release, the band share focus track ‘Runaways’ — a euphoric anthem that blends propulsive grooves, multi-layered reverb-laden guitars and Dougy’s unmistakable soaring falsetto. A tribute to all outsiders chasing their dreams, the track draws inspiration from Dougy’s Indonesian upbringing and the universal pursuit of finding your place in the world. “We wanted to make a statement and create the record we've always wanted to make — music that is authentically us, as we are today. We’re so proud of this record, and it’s been incredible to be back in the studio and on stages together again.” - The Temper Trap   Demand for the album has already been felt globally, with multiple exclusive vinyl variants of their first album in more than a decade selling out ahead of release. Meanwhile, already clocking millions of streams, single ‘Giving Up Air’ continues to make waves, recently cracking the Top 30 at US Alternative Radio and closing out the band’s live set with massive energy.   Fans around the world celebrated Sungazer’s release at buzzing early listening parties in Melbourne, Jakarta, London and Los Angeles. Audiences across North America have also been hearing the new record live as The Temper Trap's 24-date tour supporting Muse gets underway, off the back of festival appearances at Summerfest (Milwaukee) and Concerts In The Park (Sacramento), with a set at Outside Lands (San Francisco) and a handful of US headlines still to come.   WATCH: The Temper Trap – ‘Runaways (Official Music Video)’   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. With Sungazer, The Temper Trap continue to push forward - honouring their past while embracing a new future. “With time apart and much personal growth from us all, Sungazer feels like it’s captured the purest collection of music we’ve ever made.” NORTH AMERICAN TOUR  July 10 – Tinley Park, IL – Credit Union 1 Amphitheater July 11 – Cincinnati, OH – Riverbend Music Center July 13 – Clarkston, MI – Pine Knob Music Theatre July 15 – Toronto, ON – RBC Amphitheatre July 18 – Mansfield, MA – Xfinity Center July 22 – Holmdel, NJ – PNC Bank Arts Center July 24 – Saratoga Springs, NY – Broadview Stage at SPAC July 25 – Wantagh, NY – Northwell at Jones Beach Theater July 28 – Columbia, MD – Merriweather Post Pavilion July 29 – Camden, NJ – Freedom Mortgage Pavilion August 10 – Charlotte, NC – Truliant Amphitheater August 12 – Atlanta, GA – Lakewood Amphitheatre August 14 – Dallas, TX – Dos Equis Pavilion August 15 – Austin, TX – Germania Insurance Amphitheater August 16 – Houston, TX – House of Blues (Headline Show) August 18 – Greenwood Village, CO – Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre August 20 – West Valley City, UT – Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre August 22 – Ridgefield, WA – Cascades Amphitheater August 23 – Auburn, WA – White River Amphitheater August 24 – Vancouver, BC – The Commodore (Headline Show) August 26 – Wheatland, CA – Toyota Amphitheatre August 27 – Mountain View, CA – Shoreline Amphitheatre August 28 – Los Angeles, CA – The Bellwether (Headline Show) August 29 – San Diego, CA – North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre August 31 – Los Angeles, CA – Hollywood Bowl
