Anybody lucky enough to have caught this Chichester three-piece live recently – supporting the likes of Fidlar, Parakeet and Temples – will have been left scratching their heads as to why the rollicking trio and their brand of hook-laden, rough-edged power-pop hadn’t been snapped up by some label or another.

Now our good friends at Brighton indie powerhouse Fatcat Records have done the decent thing and put pen to paper. To celebrate, they’ve made Mexico, streaming below, available as a free download. New fans should check out Traams’ other earlier Rory Atwell (Test Icicles) produced recordings, such as Flowers and Foxes – if you can find them now they’ve been swiftly removed from Bandcamp, Soundcloud, etc.
