Urbantramper Album Release Tour
13th July 2007 - Press Release



"It's clear that this album is something pretty special, reminiscent of Gramsci and Age Pryor but going beyond both of these to plumb new depths of echoing instrumental layers. Urban Tramper's music is both mournful and joyous. It is homemade yet polished." - NZ Musician Mag

ChCh record label Maiden Records is pleased to present... the new album from Wellington artist Urbantramper - Tokon and The Colours. Lake, aka 'Urbantramper' is a 24 yr old devout treeninja.
