Chichester trio TRAAMS have shared a new track titled “Comedown”. The song is taken from their highly anticipated new album “personal best”, which is out July 22nd via long-term label Fat Cat Records.
"personal best" marks the band's first full-length album since 2015's critically-acclaimed 'Modern Dancing', and comes hot on the heels of their recent highly acclaimed single 'Sleeper,’ which featured guest vocals from Soffie Viemose of Bella Union's Danish five-piece Lowly.
Arriving just ahead of their new album, “Comedown” is another consummate snapshot of how TRAAMS are combining their earlier band sensibilities with new more expansive dynamics and instrumentation.
Speaking on the track, Hopkins says, “Comedown was the first track to be started and the last to be finished on the new record.
It’s weird how that happens - you can definitely think and pour over a track a little too long sometimes… A friend of mine said at some point you just have to put it down and let it be. It was good advice.
Comedown was by and large written pre-covid but listening to it now most of the lyrics sound like I’m singing about the pandemic and ensuing lockdowns. I’m not. But if you want to pretend I am, that’s obviously fine. We were lucky to have Liza guest on this one too. She did a great job, and totally owns the track. We’ll be debuting this live in the next run of shows. It sounds decent live. Promise.”
