Following on from their 2013 debut success, Grin. The post punk trio TRAAMS announced their return later this year with their second album, Modern Dancing. By relocating to Leeds, the band were able to record and work alongside familiar producer MJ of Hookworms, at the Suburban Home Studios.

“As a band we felt more focused this time, we had a clearer idea of what we wanted.” stated Leigh (bass) “Recording ‘Modern Dancing’ felt like making an album proper. We are very happy with everything we’ve put out but the structure of these sessions really helped us get stuck in and try new things. It was great working with MJ again too. It’s generally a more positive record than our first, it’s a bit brighter, and a tad more optimistic, ultimately it documents our first couple of years touring, new friendships and relationships.”
