Taken from Tré Burt‘s forthcoming new LP Traffic Fiction, out Oct 6th via John Prine’s Oh Boy Records, ‘Piece of Me‘ has me mildly obsessed and listening to this gem on repeat.

The way his voice strains and rattles at the edges, the way he doubles the timing of the song title as it tumbles out, on the back of an orchestral micro moment. The verses groove like Wilco at their most pop and playful. It’s the chorus though, all baroque pop and aching soul. Then in the last minute he raises the stakes of desperation into a psychedelic soul jam complete with distorted guitar fireworks… Superb!

He says, “‘Piece of Me’ is about the feeling you get when you end a relationship with someone but there still seems to be more of the story left to tell, like waking up out of a love hangover. ”
