TRAAMS ANNOUNCE LTD. EDITION 12" EP "4 SONGS"

In 2016, with two critically acclaimed albums already released through long-term label FatCat, TRAAMS put out a final - and wonderful - one-off single in "A House On Fire", and then, a handful of touring shows aside: nothing. They didn't break up, they didn't announce their hiatus, but after several years as a band came to a head, they decided to put their focus elsewhere, on their families, on their home lives, and simply return to their instruments when they felt ready again and for the right reasons.

And in 2020, a torrid year by anyone's reckoning, they found themselves ready - in improbable circumstances - to do so. The 10 minute "A House On Fire" was followed up by their first material since in the similarly expansive "The Greyhound", which clocked in at nearly 9 minutes this time. A propulsive, three-part thriller of a song, featuring Lewis Evans of Black Country, New Road on sax, it saw TRAAMS' return heralded enthusiastically by both press and radio internationally. Landing as it did in a completely different landscape, socially and musically, "The Greyhound" was rightly welcomed with open arms.
