modern dancing - Austin Town Hall

Another Track from Traams

It’s looking like things for Traams are coming together quite nicely; everyone is trying their best to catch the band’s attention and give them a few kind words. Why would we be any different? Modern Dancing is the title of the band’s new effort , and this single has this propulsive groove coming from the rhythm section that I hope is prevalent throughout. It’s a pretty intoxicating track with that rhythm, but don’t think that the band’s knack for incorporating understated guitar noise will be absent…just listen right at the 2.30 minute mark. This is definitely one of my highlight tracks from the record, so spin it a few times to see if you feel the same. It’s out via Fatcat on November 13th.

Kinda Sorta Missed This TRAAMS Tune

August 5, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Ok, so the track’s already been out for a few days, but you know how it goes in the blogosphere (does that world still exist?). So, this TRAAMS tune hit a few days ago, and it’s sort of blown up immediately. It’s got this driving rhythm from the get-go, recalling the work of Hot Snakes (or the other band that guy was in). It hits hard and fast, though there are some guitar cuts that barely border on pop sensibility (listen closely). Still, the middle of the track is fairly rewarding too, using a slightly slower pace to offer some differentiation. Fatcat Records will be releasing the band’s new album, Modern Dancing, this coming November.
