Thick as Thieves is the third studio album by Australian indie- alternative rock band The Temper Trap. It was produced Damian Taylor. Running at a length of 45 minutes long and comprising eleven tracks, the album was released on 10 June 2016, by Liberation Records in Australia, by Infectious Records in the United Kingdom, and by Glassnote Records in the United States. The album is the first by the band to be co-written by personnel outside of the band, and also marks the first without guitarist and founding member Lorenzo Sillitto, after his departure in late 2013.

Serving as a follow-up to their experimental second studio album, The Temper Trap, Thick as Thieves reverts to a guitar-oriented sound reminiscent of their debut album, Conditions, in response to the former's mixed reception, with lyrics inspired by various experiences by members of the band. Recording and production started in early 2013 at Byron Bay, where initial sessions were held with Grammy award-winning producer Malay. The band also notably changed their traditional method of songwriting for Thick as Thieves, moving from development of ideas from jam sessions, to a more streamlined process of forming songs from various ideas by members of the band. Stumped by the departure of Sillitto, and fluctuating frequently between recording and touring, however, the album spent a lengthy time in development over the course of three years, mostly recorded with Taylor and engineer Russel Fawcus at the band's private studios in London in late 2014 and early 2015, with finishing touches recorded at Taylor's Golden Ratio Studios in Montreal in April 2015. After numerous delays, even after initially tracking the album in April 2015, recording on the album was eventually completed in October 2015, 32 months after recording began.

With its release formally announced in April 2016, the album was preceded by the appearances of title track "Thick as Thieves", and fifth track " Fall Together" on singles, in February and April 2016, respectively. Further promotion included a low-key headlining tour and an extensive festival tour in mid-2016 of Asia, Australia, Europe and the United States, in support of the album's release, and later an extensive tour of North America in late 2016. Upon release, Thick as Thieves was met with largely positive reviews – an improvement on the reception of the band's previous album. Critics mostly agreed on the quality of the album's sound and production, with a volume of praise being directed at lead singer Dougy Mandagi's vocals, but were otherwise divided on the album's lyricism and the lack of deviation from the band's previous material.
