Fat Cat is an electronica, noise, and post-rock label based in Brighton, UK. Originally a record shop in the early '90s, the label was established when the shop closed down in 1997 with support from [l311].

Renowned for their distinctive series of releases such as the "7" Series", "10" Series", "12" Series", "Splinter Series", "Remix Series", and "E-RMX Series," Fat Cat has left a significant mark on the music industry. For more instrumental orchestral-type releases, they also operate a sublabel called [l=130701], named after its inception date: 13 July 2001.

With numerous notable artists under their belt, Fat Cat Records continues to be at the forefront of cutting-edge music production and distribution.

Traams is a UK Indie Rock / Post-Punk band that was formed in 2011. With their energetic and raw sound, they have captivated audiences around the world. Drawing inspiration from bands like Gilla Band, B Boys, and TVAM, Traams has carved out their own unique place in the music scene.
Known for their intense live performances, Traams delivers a powerful and immersive experience to their fans. Their music combines catchy melodies with gritty guitar riffs and driving rhythms, creating a sound that is both infectious and thought-provoking.
With influences ranging from Preoccupations to Fat White Family, Traams has developed a distinctive style that sets them apart from other artists in the genre. Their songs are filled with introspective lyrics and evocative storytelling, allowing listeners to connect on a deeper level.

Personal Best, the third album from Chichester’s Traams and their first in seven years, represents a band rebuilt from the ground up. After half a decade apart, all it took was a global pandemic to reaffirm their intense urge to create music together, and the limitations the situation brought with it ended up revolu- tionising their sound.

“A lot of this album is about recognising yourself,” Stu, vocalist and songwriter, says. “This record is about the little changes we make, and the milestones we achieve in that process,” he adds, reflecting on a seven year period where his band drifted apart before reconnecting and finding an entirely new way of working, a change that has resulted in their most beautiful and fully-formed album yet. “It’s not about big declara- tions of love or huge outpourings of grief,” he says. “It’s about the little personal realisations and victories that people have throughout their lives. Some of them are massive, some of them can be hard, and some are small and beautiful, but they all matter.”

Featuring performances by Liza Violet (Menace Beach), Soffie Viemose (Lowly) and Joe Casey (Pro- tomartyr). For fans of Squid, Protomartyr, Gilla Band, Iceage, Shame, Idles, Fat White Family, Warmduscher, Dry Cleaning and bdrmm.
