Glasgow’s multiple BRIT and Ivor Novello-winning songwriting giants Travis today release their 10th studio album L.A Times, out now via BMG. Listen here.

As telegraphed by new tracks ‘Bus’ and ‘Gaslight’, which have both spent multiple weeks on widespread radio playlists including two BBC Radio 2 A lists, L.A. Times sees Travis  stepping into a bold new era. It marks a significant milestone for the band, released 25 years after their breakthrough #1 album, The Man Who, which is certified 9x Platinum in the UK alone. It comes the day after they completed a massive UK arena support tour with their friends The Killers, which ended with a six-night run at the O2 Arena. The band then look forward to a headline world tour in support of L.A. Times.

Produced by Tony Hoffer (Air, Beck, Phoenix), L.A. Times was written by Fran Healy in his studio on the edge of Skid Row, Los Angeles, the city he has called home for the last decade. Its ten songs see their creator, inevitably, trying to make sense of the road travelled to this point - a sentiment reflected in the stunning album cover photograph. Echoing some of Travis’ most beloved records – The Man WhoThe Invisible Band and The Boy With No Name - we’re greeted anew by four distant figures amongst vast surroundings, this time beneath the concrete and glitter of downtown Los Angeles at night. An unbroken line-up since their formation at the Glasgow School of Art in the 1990s, the coordinates of their extraordinary journey together are marked by this latest in a series of arresting images by world-renowned photographer and Travis collaborator for over 20 years, Stefan Ruiz.

Travis will kick off the UK leg of the Raze The Bar Tour in December. The UK tour is part of a huge live season for Travis which started with The Killers tour. In August and September they will return to Europe for their first headline tour across the continent since 2016. In November the band play Corona City in Mexico with South American tour dates to be announced soon. They will then head to North America in January 2025 for 22 dates across the US and Canada.

L.A. Times is available digitally, on CD and vinyl. The album is also available as a limited deluxe 2CD package which includes a stripped-back version of the L.A. Times album, recorded between Dougie Payne’s Living Room, Glasgow, and Fran Healy’s Living Room, L.A.

HMV and indie stores have a limited edition green marble vinyl and the band’s official store has exclusive limited yellow vinyl and merch bundles. Order here.
