Trans Am (album)

Trans Am is the debut album by the American band Trans Am, released on January 30, 1996, by Thrill Jockey Records. The band supported the album with a North American tour.

Artwork
The album's artwork was taken from the cover of a 10" flexi disc Space Sounds, which was part of Our Universe Space Kit, published by National Geographic Society in 1980.

Critical reception
The Chicago Tribune labeled the album "instrumentals that blend traditional rock-trio interaction with angular electronic effects." Guitar Player deemed it a "musicianly spacerock meltdown—replete with Moog blasts and other rich analog synth washes."
