Still Traffico Release Stirring New Single ‘Who’s A Fraud?’
On 10 January 2025, Mancunian-London trio Still Traffico unveiled their latest single, ‘Who’s A Fraud?’. A captivating blend of indie pop and post-punk, the track showcases the band’s signature “Railway Pop” sound—a distinctive style they describe as “a sound that clanks and shunts… but soothes.”
At the heart of the single lies Cam’s tender and expressive vocals, which navigate the track’s emotional depths with poetic precision. His lyrics strike a balance between sweetness and sharpness, creating a dynamic tension that unfolds as the song progresses. Accompanying Cam is the jangling, post-punk-inflected guitar work of Dan (Carabine), whose playing evokes both energy and introspection. Meanwhile, the rhythm section weaves its way subtly but spiritedly through the arrangement, anchoring the piece with a quiet strength.
‘Who’s A Fraud?’ is emblematic of Still Traffico’s eclectic influences, which range from the evocative storytelling of Chanson Française to the hypnotic textures of African desert blues and the expansive soundscapes of post-rock. These diverse inspirations inform their uniquely crafted sound, resulting in music that feels both contemporary and timeless.
Listeners will find in this latest release a continuation of the band’s ability to pair opposites—the sweet and the sour, the beautiful and the raw—creating music that resonates deeply. With ‘Who’s A Fraud?’, Still Traffico further cements their place as a compelling force within the indie music scene, offering tracks that are both sonically adventurous and emotionally resonant.
As the single gains momentum, it becomes increasingly clear that Still Traffico’s blend of jangling guitars, poetic lyricism, and rhythmic finesse is a combination worth celebrating. For those yet to experience the charm of Railway Pop, ‘Who’s A Fraud?’ is the perfect entry point.
