Press blurb:
“The Scottish band, with “Super Swede” Michael Ilbert (The Hives/The Cardigans/The Wannadies) on production duties have delivered an album of effortless, melodic pop gems. The album kicks into gear immediately with ‘Mother’ – a bracing rush of harmonic pop with a chiming piano solo. It is soon followed by the nu-wavey guitars and drums of the instantly anthemic ‘Moving’ – the next single, out August 19 LP title track ‘Where You Stand’.
“You stay away as long as it takes,” says bassist Dougie Payne on the band’s well-judged fallow period, “so you feel that hunger and desire to get back to it same as you did at the start.”
With two No.1 LPs, five Top Ten singles, two Brit Awards and more than 8 million record sales Travis crafted songs which resonated throughout UK households, striking an emotional chord with hits such as ‘Turn’, ‘Why Does It Always Rain On Me’ and ‘Sing’. ‘Where You Stand’ is the follow-up to their 2008 album ‘Ode to J. Smith’.Travis are singer/guitarist Fran Healy, bassist Dougie Payne, guitarist Andy Dunlop and drummer Neil Primrose.”
