Travis will kick off the new year with the release of their second single from the critically acclaimed album Ode To J Smith.
Song To Self will be released on January 5th and will be available via digital download and on limited 7” vinyl. Both formats include The Ballad Of J Smith, a new song unavailable elsewhere.
The 7″ features a special extended version of Song To Self containing a whole new musical section, and the first 200 orders received for the vinyl format will be signed by Travis.
A live favourite of the band and fans at recent shows, Song To Self sees Travis at their intimately anthemic best.

“Dear all,the video for Song To Self will be going up on our youtube site later.
Don’t be shocked.It’s just a me video.
I was a little uncomfortable with the idea of it not being an all of us video,
but it reflects the meaning of the song well,
that of loneliness and wanting to find someone who feels the same as you,
someone who knows how you tick. And boy did I feel lonley : )
Anyways it’ll be up later. It’s directed by Nick Hooker.
Nick has worked with U2 and the Smashing Pumpkins
and recently made the video for the Grace Jones song Corporate Cannibal.”
“Official video for new single “Song To Self” sees Fran caught
in a lonely freaked out acid hinterland created by the video director Nick Hooker. Will he ever make it back to the band????”

Travis will release their sixth studio album, Ode To J. Smith on the 29th of September on CD, vinyl and digital download.
In 1996 Fran Healy borrowed £600 from his mum to pay for the recording of Travis’s debut single. That track, the rousingly self-descriptive All I Wanna Do Is Rock, was released on their own label Red Telephone Box, with a sleeve designed by Fran.
Fast forward twelve years – during which time they have shifted ten million albums, scored numerous accolades and headlined festivals all over the world – and Travis are back at the helm, having re-ignited Red Telephone Box for the release of Ode To J Smith, their new album released on September 29th.
‘Usually I write a bunch of songs over a year and then we record them and piece it together. But this album was born out of a rush of creative urgency; a need to make a record, it has to be amazing. Perhaps that’s why Ode To J Smith is the most cohesive thing we’ve ever done. When you move so quickly there is very little time to reflect. You have to be decisive’.
