TRAAMS Announce New LP ''personal best, Stream "The Light at Night feat. Joe Casey"

Chichester post punk/psych trio Traams have announced the release of their third studio album 'personal best', their first in seven years.

The follow-up to 2015’s ‘Modern Dancing’ will be out on july 22 via Fat Cat Records, and is "a delight that will find love from fans of Squid, IDLES and Dry Cleaning", it features guest contributions from Liza Violet (of Menace Beach), Soffie Viemose (Lowly) and Joe Casey (Protomartyr).  Pre-order your copy here.

After half a decade apart, all it took was a global pandemic to reaffirm their intense urge to create music together, and the limitations the situation brought with it ended up revolutionising their sound. 

“A lot of this album is about recognising yourself,” Stu, vocalist and songwriter, says. “This record is about the little changes we make, and the milestones we achieve in that process,” he adds, reflecting on a seven year period where his band drifted apart before reconnecting and finding an entirely new way of working, a change that has resulted in their most beautiful and fully-formed album yet. “It’s not about big declarations of love or huge outpourings of grief,” he says. “It’s about the little personal realisations and victories that people have throughout their lives. Some of them are massive, some of them can be hard, and some are small and beautiful, but they all matter.”
