Data Insight
Producer Tyler Smyth writes on all thirteen tracks alongside Burkheiser, Vanlerberghe and Menoian, so the blanket credit here is a four-way split rather than a band credit. David Pramik adds a hand on four songs. Jon Eberhard appears once, six years before he joins the band.
Trauma came out in March 2019 and was the fourth best-selling album of the week in the US. It has sold 181,000 there. Both it and its single "Bow Down" were nominated for Grammy Awards.
