Masters of atmosphere and emotional weight, TRAITRS continue to define the character of their forthcoming album Possessor with the release of its latest single, Dream Drowning. With each new preview, the record reveals itself as a focused and fully realized continuation of the band’s darkwave and post punk vision, shaped with purpose.
Dream Drowning conveys the dramatic tone that has grown synonymous with TRAITRS' identity. The song has a calm tension that is fueled by a careful mix of melodic discipline and beautiful emotion.
The production is once again pristine, allowing the nuance to emerge naturally. TRAITRS have a firm grasp of their abilities, diving into their melancholic core while retaining the immediacy that makes their music so powerful.
As the successor to their 2021 album Horses in the Abattoir, Possessor finds TRAITRS continuing to develop their wistful sound and imagery with confidence. Dream Drowning stands as another strong indication that the band remains fully committed to their dark direction, strengthening anticipation for what is shaping up to be one of their most complete releases to date.
