Travis Return With New Single And Album

It’s been twenty-five years since the four members of Travis – Fran Healy, Andy Dunlop, Dougie Payne, Neil Primrose – first set foot in a Glaswegian rehearsal room.

At various points along the trajectory between then and now, the band have sold millions of albums, they’ve been the subject of the award-winning feature length documentary ‘Almost Fashionable’ and Fran has elicited acclaim from Paul McCartney, Elton John and Graham Nash – all songwriters whose ability to divine a timeless melody out of thin air has sustained them through the decades.

The Scottish band have just released a new single - A Ghost, the first track to be taken off what is said to be an emotionally charged & deeply heartfelt forthcoming ninth studio album ‘10 Songs’ - out October 9th on BMG Records.



The album has cameos from leading musicians including synth work from Grandaddy’s Jason Lytle, lap steel from Greg Leisz (Beck, Emmylou Harris, Bruce Springsteen) and vocals from Susanna Hoffs of The Bangles, that came about from a chance exchange on Twitter.

Hopefully it will be worth the long wait Travis fans have had to wait patiently for. Live gigs will no doubt follow later this year or early next year which will include Yorkshire and Lancashire.
