Fresh on the heels of their 20th anniversary reissue of "The Invisible Band," Scottish indie rock group Travis is back for more. Their new album, titled "L.A. Times," marks one of the band’s finest efforts since "The Man Who," the multiplatinum mega-success that established their international fame.
Listeners will revel in the album’s candid assessment of contemporary life’s ceaseless change, as well as the perils and promises of an encroaching middle age. As lead singer and songwriter Fran Healy points out, “'L.A. Times' is our most personal album since 'The Man Who.' There was a lot of big stuff to write about back then, the tectonic plates had shifted in my life. I was 22 when I was writing those songs. They were my therapy. Over 20 years later and the plates have shifted again. There’s a lot to talk about.”
