context_page_description: Thick as Thieves is the third studio album by Australian indie-alternative rock band The Temper Trap. It was produced by Rich Cooper and Damian Taylor. The album was released on 10 June 2016, by Liberation Music in Australia, by Infectious Records in the United Kingdom, and by Glassnote Records in the United States, and is the first to be co-written by the band with outside personnel. Thick as Thieves also marks the first album by the band without guitarist and founding member Lorenzo Sillitto, after his departure in late 2013.
  Serving as a follow-up to their experimental, self-titled second studio album, Thick as Thieves reverts to a guitar-oriented sound reminiscent of their debut album, with lyrics inspired by various experiences by members of the band. Recording and production started in early 2013 at Byron Bay. The band changed their traditional method of song writing for Thick as Thieves, moving from development of ideas utilising jam sessions, to a streamlined process using various ideas by band members.
context_section_description: Shortly before the album was completed and unveiled, the album's title track, "Thick as Thieves", was premiered on Australian youth radio station Triple J on the night of 28 February 2016, after the band announced the premiere on social media. The track also subsequently appeared on a single released the next day. On 11 April 2016, Thick as Thieves was officially unveiled by The Temper Trap, Liberation and Glassnote Records. The band wrote, in a press release regarding the announcement, "Finally it's here! No one can accuse us of rushing things. We're definitely slow burners when it comes to writing albums so we're beyond excited to share these new songs with you." The album's track list, artwork, and 10 June release date were detailed, with pre-orders for compact disc and digital download versions of the album, in addition to a limited-edition white vinyl 10" LP version of the album, becoming available on the same day. A deluxe edition of the album was also pressed, containing three additional tracks - "Providence", "On the Run", and "Closer". In addition to the announcement, the album's fifth track, "Fall Together" was premiered through a video uploaded to the band's official YouTube channel, and appeared on a single, released in the United States on 12 April 2016. "Fall Together" was also solicited as a promotional single to United States Triple A and Alternative / Modern rock radio on 2 and 3 May 2016, respectively. In the weeks leading up to the release of the album, the band premiered the album's third track, "Burn", and sixth track, "Alive". They were both made available to download and stream on 19 May and 2 June, respectively. Each track's release were accompanied by music videos featuring the band performing the songs live.
  Music videos for tracks on Thick as Thieves saw the band take a different direction in visual presentation. While the band members themselves had avoided appearing at the center of their music videos previously, the videos for "Fall Together" and "Lost", both directed by acclaimed music video producer Kris Moyes and shot back-to-back on the island of Milos, Greece, feature them prominently. The band felt that they had become a mostly "faceless" band, and decided that starring in their music videos would help their identity and public image. Mandagi explained, "we just felt a lot of time had passed between album two and this one, and obviously Lorenzo left, so there's been changes. Let's come back and fully solidify our identity as a band, present ourselves as a solid unit, show our faces." The music video for "Fall Together" was released exclusively on 7 June 2016, three days before the release of Thick as Thieves, through The Wall Street Journal's Speakeasy subsite, with a synopsis by Dundas that reads, "four companions embark on an odyssey together, enduring challenges and rites of passage that will bond them in blood and experience."
  The Temper Trap supported the release of Thick of Thieves with a limited-date tour and various appearances at worldwide music festivals, including We the Fest, Field Day, and the Dot to Dot Festival. Their headline tour included a tour of Australia, the United States, Europe and Asia, with the tour in Australia being their first major one in three years, after serving as a supporting act on the Mylo Xyloto Tour in 2012 and their Australian east coast tour in 2013. Their tour included a three-day venture in early May 2016, to small, intimate venues, consisting the Metro Theatre in Sydney, New South Wales, the Forum Theatre in Melbourne, Victoria, and The Triffid in Brisbane, Queensland. The band will also make appearances in similar venues in the United States in June 2016, at The Mezzanine and the Fonda Theatre in San Francisco and Los Angeles, California, and at the Webster Hall in New York City, New York. The band also performed at alike venues, including the O2 Academy in Oxford and The Moth Club in London, England. The band also embarked on a 23-date tour of North America, visiting 20 cities across 14 states and territories of the United States, and two p
