 New wave’s latest anti-heroes, Tramplord, are set to release their sophomore album Petulant Sounds on Monday 22nd September 2014.Recorded in London and featuring production from Tim Whelan and Hami Mantu (Transglobal Underground)/Jim Dale (Goldheart Assembly) and sitar from Adam Blake (Cornershop), Petulant Sounds follows on from 2010s The Holy Buddy Story, twisting and turning its way through a 70s new wave love of pop, 80s electronica and infectious harmonies. The album’s title and track names nod to the influence of the Beach Boys, with titles including Goodbye Stations, Wiped Out, Help Me Find Her, Barbarian and Fin Fin Fin.Petulant Sounds also includes latest single Beached, described by Steve Lamacq as “A nice little oddity” and by the Aberdeen Evening Express as “uplifting psychedelia with refreshingly honest lyrics”. The single has received plays on BBC 6 Music, was Hattie Pearson’s ‘Sunday Soother’ on Xfm and has been included on Eddy Temple-Morris’ Xfm show ‘The Remix’.Describing the album Bin Raisbeck, Tramplord’s lead singer, says, “We wanted every track on Petulant Sounds to be upbeat regardless of the lyrics and mood of the song. These are songs that celebrate the bliss of mutual, unrequited love and the joy of melancholic self-absorption tempered by the occasional slap around the metaphorical chops to bring you back to harsh reality.In the days of shuffling MP3 players, few of us conform to listening to a specific genre for more than a few minutes, therefore Petulant Sounds appropriately flicks from musical influence to musical influence over the course of its 15 tracks, with unconscious themes of goodbyes and departures heard throughout. These influences include the likes of T. Rex, Aztec Camera, Alabama 3, Blondie and Fountains of Wayne.The album is a culmination of new beginnings, a hesitant exploration of blended genres and a familiar gesture to the past, or as Raisbeck himself has said, “It’s the sound of a band waking up. The video for Beached can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ffoe5vnRq6U Website: http://www.tramplord.comTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/tramplordukFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/TramplordYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TramplordUK  About TramplordTramplord, aka Bin Raisbeck, revels in the confusion of the present. An exiled Scot living in Fitzrovia, London, Tramplord sets out to celebrate and embrace the marvel, frippery and indulgence of life through the grace and ephemera of pop music.Tramplord believes that the music industry is dead. And applauds it. He believes that the soul of music will only return when popular music removes any thought of riches coming with it. “Music is not about art for arts sake, it is not about celebrity, it is not about money,” says Raisbeck. “It is a release for the recluse in us all to voice our loves, fears, dreams and disappointments. A song is a terrace-chant in our mind as we watch ourselves win or lose on the pitch of life.”
