DESCRIPTION:
Indie Rock - First Ever Vinyl Release Of 2007 LP - Features 3 hot Singles & Bonus 7" Single
Cut at London’s Metropolis Studios, Craft Recordings’ new reissue of the bands fifth studio album comes housed in a gatefold sleeve and features a bonus 7” single. In 2007, ten years after the release of their debut album Good Feeling, much had changed for Travis’ Fran Healy (vocals, guitar), Andy Dunlop (guitar), Dougie Payne (bass), and Neil Primrose (drums) – and yet, much remained the same.
With Healy now a father (The Boy With No Name takes its title from a nickname briefly given to his son),his songwriting on The Boy With No Name turned to the world of relationships, with singles “Closer” (which marked the bands return to the Top 10 on the UK singles chart) and “My Eyes” focusing on his newborn son. Featuring production work from Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, Beck, Paul McCartney) and pioneering artist Brian Eno, the album was praised by the BBC as the band’s “most eclectic album to date,” and the work of a band who “can afford to take risks,” while receiving four stars from Q magazine.

Travis is a Scottish rock band formed in Glasgow in 1990, consisting of Fran Healy (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Dougie Payne (bass guitar, backing vocals), Andy Dunlop (lead guitar, banjo, backing vocals), and Neil Primrose (drums, percussion). The band’s name is derived from the character Travis Henderson, portrayed by Harry Dean Stanton in the film "Paris, Texas" (1984). Their debut album "Good Feeling" (1997) achieved moderate success, debuting at number nine on the UK Albums Chart and later receiving a silver certification from the British Phonographic Industry in January 2000.
The band attained wider commercial success with their second album "The Man Who" (1999), which spent nine weeks at number one on the UK Albums Chart and remained in the chart’s top 100 for a total of 134 weeks. In 2003, it was certified nine-times platinum by the British Phonographic Industry, representing sales exceeding 2.68 million copies in the United Kingdom. Their third album, "The Invisible Band" (2001), also debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and reached number 39 on the US Billboard 200; it was awarded four-times platinum certification by the British Phonographic Industry a year after its release. Subsequent albums included "12 Memories" (2003), "The Boy with No Name" (2007), "Ode to J. Smith" (2008), "Where You Stand" (2013), "Everything at Once" (2016), "10 Songs" (2020), and "L.A. Times" (2024), along with the compilation "Singles" (2004), and achieved commercial success.
Travis have received multiple awards, including two Brit Awards for best band, the NME Artist of the Year award at the 2000 NME ceremony, and recognition at the 2016 Scottish Music Awards for their outstanding contribution to music.
