Travis - 12 Memories - [Vinyl]

None other than Elton John raved that 12 Memories would �take you on a real journey� like The Beatles� Revolver�. And, just like The Beatles in 1966, Travis were at a critical juncture when it came to recording their fourth album. Coldplay had launched a career patterned on Travis� The Man Who-era songwriting, while frontman Fran Healy was secretly battling depression. With the Iraq war newly raging in the background, the group began to look outwards in their songwriting, penning socially-conscious singles like �Re-Offender�, which dealt with domestic abuse, and �The Beautiful Occupation�, which was inspired by the US invasion of Iraq. If �Love Will Come Through� was more like the Travis of old, it was filtered through a darkness that defined much of 12 Memories, with the album as a whole taking on tinges of electronica, and the band rocking with a harder edge than before. The album debuted at No. 3 in the UK Albums chart on its original release in 2003.Craft Recordings will reissue the much-sort-after album on vinyl for the first time.
