Travis Announce New Single, Album and UK Tour

Having scored a No. 1 on the indie singles chart with their limited edition J Smith EP, Travis are pleased to announce the release of a new single Something Anything on September 15th, followed by a 12 date UK tour in the lead up to the release of their new album Ode To J. Smith on September 29th.

 

Something Anything sees Travis mine a seam of tough beat led grooves and guitar licks, landing someplace between the breakthrough stomp of Good Feeling and garage band of All I Wanna Do Is Rock. For the video, the band team up once more with Michael Baldwin – who directed all the videos for The Boy With No Name – and take Andy's driving guitar riff as the centre piece for a video that sees a 10ft tall Andy tearing into a solo that leaves the rest of the band suitably awestruck.

 

The single will be released on the band's very own Red Telephone Box label and will be available on 7”, CD and as a download. Additional tracks include a cover of The Kinks classic Lola and two new songs all unavailable elsewhere. Track listings are as follows:

 

Something Anything CD / Digital download:

01: Something Anything

02: Tail Of The Tiger

03: Used To Belong

 

Something Anything 7” Vinyl:

A: Something Anything

B: Lola

THE NEW ALBUM

Ode To J Smith is Travis’s loudest, edgiest and most arresting record since their debut. Written in 5 weeks and recorded in just 14 days, it’s the sound of a band re-born, re-inspired and re-energised.

 

“we wanted this record to have some rough edges. In the past we might have been guilty of making really beautiful things that were so smooth you almost slipped off them. You can’t say that about this one. We really pushed ourselves. It’s like prog-pop; lots happening in about three minutes” - Dougie.

 

Ode to J. Smith will be released on Sept 29th with full details to be announced shortly.

 

Just sharing the information I just got in my email inbox :dance: can't wait :dance:

all those new songs really are so so great!! :heart: last night i was listening to a bootleg from the concert in russia two weeks ago and it was brilliant... i think "chinese blues" could become one of my fav travis songs ever... "something anything" is really good as well and will be nice as a single - although i do like "song to self" better.

anyway, it's all magic, i'm happyyy! :)
