about

With a classic power trio line-up and stone solid dedication to the cream of 1960s British psych-pop sounds, Traum (German for Dream) draw their inspiration from the bands that originally defined the psychedelic aesthetic, including July, Tintern Abbey, The Beatles, The Pretty Things and The Smoke. Using vintage instruments, gear and effects complemented by classic production techniques, Traum bring analogue tape echo, delays and spring reverb to the mix, with truly mind-blowing results.

Launching their first-ever song, “Hold The Line,” with a piercing riff that pays homage to The Smoke and other masters of UK psych circa ’67, Traum presents an ode to the mystified daze of a Technicolor dream. Supercharged by vintage tape echoes and bursts of fuzz guitar, it’s made to spiral deep into the double-helix matrix of multi-mirrored minds.

“Sunshine Song” counters the mistaken notion that ignorance is bliss with a message of universal appeal: a brilliantly illuminated path of enlightenment can take us all beyond the boundaries of Earth to the farthest reaches of the universe, both within and without (all whilst immersed in an infinite ocean of fuzz-laden vibration, of course).
