Träume – Wrzask LP

Black and white splat vinyl!

Poland’s Träume craft their sound from their roots with such legendary 80s punk and new wave bands as Siekiera and Zbombardowane Laleczki. In Soviet Poland all underground music scenes came together no matter the sound, united by a need to make art that countered the oppressive regime controlling the country. On top of that, most punk and hardcore was smuggled through the Iron Curtain from badly recorded cassette tapes, so things evolved organically and with their own interpretation. This can be seen most clearly on the infamous Polish Punk compilation ‘Fala’, meaning wave. Taking this history, Träume are the descendents of this sound, bringing tuneful new wave elements to a punk beat, whilst speaking of the politics of our days through folk metaphors such as in Kraina Snów (Land of Dreams). To wrzask, to punk kurwa.
