Travis - 10 Songs - [Vinyl]

At various points along the trajectory between then and now, Travis have sold millions of albums (just under three million of The Man Who in the UK alone); they�ve been the subject of an award-winning feature length documentary (Almost Fashionable) and Fran has elicited acclaim from Paul McCartney, Elton John and Graham Nash - all songwriters whose ability to divine a timeless melody out of thin air has sustained them through the decades.�10 Songs� is an album that holds you in its own emotional microclimate at the outset and keeps you there. It�s also a grown-up record. �10 Songs� is a record about the way life comes at love and what love does to weather those challenges. �This is no rehearsal/This is the take,� sings Fran at the beginning of Waving At The Window, over an insistent piano hook, �Promises you once kept/Are going to breakEvery track on this album carries an even load. No passengers here. Nowhere to hide. �I write songs in an antiquated way,� explains their creator, �Sitting at the bottom of the bed, �pouring my simple sorrow to the sound hole and my knee�, as Joni Mitchell put it.� As a songwriter based in L.A., Fran Healy doesn�t need anyone to tell him this is no longer how it�s done. It�s far from uncommon for the credits on successful modern pop songs to feature upwards of ten writers. Hits by committee. �It�s fine,� notes Fran, �Personally though, I�ll take ten songs written by one person over one song written by ten people. And if I feel that way, then surely someone else must do too.�
