In the press
„Their sound is a blissful throwback to the golden days of acid rock and freakbeat, dripping with technicolor nostalgia and drenched in vintage fuzz.“
It’s Psychedelic Baby (Slovenia)
„Traum entführen Dich mit ihrer selbstbetitelten EP in die hypnotische Welt des 60er-Jahre-Psychedelic-Rock – analog, pur und voller Retro-Charme.“
Amplified Mag (Germany)
„The songs once again evoke the sound of earlier eras in a very authentic way (...) making it a recommendation not just for retro enthusiasts.“
Reverb Is For Lovers (Austria)
„Vier harmonische Songs, durch die die Sonne von Haight-Ashbury und Britische Harmonien strömen. (…) Lysergsäure könnte durchaus ebenso im Spiel gewesen sein.“
Krautnick Magazin (Germany)
„Mooie Beatlesque zangharmonieën (...) Heerlijk zwoel (...) Refreinen om The Byrds jaloers te maken (...) Een ‘shagedelic’ puik plaatje dus.“
Luminous Dash Muziek Zine (Belgium)
„Ecco che ritornano i Traum, pronti a sconvolgervi la mente con la loro ultima creazione, “Shoeshine”, la traccia di apertura del loro prossimo EP su Tonzonen Records.“
areARock (Italy)
„Traum know how to make simple songs, based on a few chords, which they always enrich with their voices (…) Wins you over with ease, drawing you in just as easily“
Diskoryxeion (Greece)
„An EP to seek out by those who love and treasure vintage era psychedelic rock of the kind that predates the development of the progressive rock tradition“
Progressor (Uzbekistan)
„The music feels like something that could have erupted during an extended live jam at the Fillmore in ‘69. It’s disorienting and gloriously kaleidoscopic, inviting you to lose yourself in its electric bliss. (...) I dig what Traum has done here.“
The Third Eye (USA)
„German three-piece Traum’s inaugural release leaves no doubt as to where their hearts lie. (…) The vocals are dreamy and distant; the guitars snaky and sinuous.“
Shindig! (UK)
„Passt bestens zu den musikalischen Traumwandeleien durch die psychedelischen Cinema-Welten, die anfangs barrettsche Pink Floyd oder Smoke und The Pretty Things sowie besonders XTC heraufbeschworen und die viele Krautrock-Bands zu einer gewissen Vollendung brachten.“
