Recorded throughout 2012 and 2013 with producers Rory Atwell and MJ from Hookworms, the aptly-titled ‘Grin’ is eleven tracks of pure distorted joy. Starting off with ‘Swimming Pool”s sonorous, atmospheric welcome, the album twists and turns it’s way through shards of hooky indie pop in ‘Flowers’ and ‘Fibbist’, plunging into darker krautrock depths in ‘Klaus’ and the title track. ‘Grin’ successfully captures the raw energy of TRAAMS’ frenzied and sweaty live performances

“Stu Hopkins’ flat, nasal honk is fetching enough from a melodic standpoint, yet it’s those brief pockets where the guitars go silent amidst the steady drums that are just as hooky.” Pitchfork

“Formed of spongy basslines, ragged guitar curls and snappy snares which crackle like broken clock hands,… precisely the kind of noisy kraut-tinged rattler you might suck from the brain of producer and Hookworms frontman, MJ” The Line of Best Fit

“A noisy, joyous racket….It’s a rude awakening, a necessary shock to the system, the first time you hear TRAAMS.” This Is Fake DIY

For fans of: McLusky, Parquet Courts, Shellac, Fucked Up, Thee Oh Sees, Neu, Television
