10 Songs (LP)

Scottish legends Travis are back with brilliant new music from their emotionally charged & deeply heartfelt ninth studio album.

Co-produced by both frontman Fran Healy and Robin Baynton (Coldplay, Florence & The Machine), and recorded at RAK Studios as 2019 turned into 2020, '10 Songs' is an album about the way life comes at love and what love does to weather those challenges. It's grown-up. There's sizzling synergy in abundance, and many of its songs benefit from the almost psychic sense of mutual attunement that comes from being in a band whose line-up hasn't changed in its entire collective lifetime.

There's also inspired cameos to be found, 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.
