Trauma

Description

Sixth studio album by the formidable songwriting duo DBA, formed by Geoff Downes and Chris Braide. Drawing on Downes and Braide’s rich musical legacy to create highly accessible progressive rock. Vocal duet with Marc Almond (Soft Cell, etc.) on the track “Juliet”. Vocal duet with Emmi on the track “Love & Loss”. Artwork designed and painted by the legendary Roger Dean - famous for his graphic masterpieces for Yes, Asia and Focus - with the collaboration of Mike Inns. Also available on CD/Atmos. These songs sprang from the cracks. “Trauma” evokes the ghosts we inherit, the wounds we conceal, and the light that still manages to find a way through. In the end, it is not an album about suffering, but about survival. “Trauma” marks the duo’s sixth studio collaboration, following: Pictures Of You (2012) Suburban Ghosts (2015) Skyscraper Souls (2017) Halcyon Hymns (2021) Celestial Songs (2023)
