The Temper Trap are gearing up to release their second and self-titled album Friday 18 May, and yesterday released the first video from it for Need Your Love.

The video was directed by Los Angeles based Dugan O'Neal, who has worked with TV On The Radio and Ellie Goulding, and the video itself was filmed around Los Angeles during the band's recent sold out tour.
