Something Anything is available on 7", CD single and as a download. Additional tracks include Travis's cover of The Kinks classic Lola and two new songs all unavailable elsewhere.
Teaming up once more with Michael Baldwin - who directed all the videos for The Boy With No Name - Travis take Andy Dunlop's driving guitar riff as the centre piece for a video that sees a 10ft tall Andy tearing into a solo that leaves the rest of the band suitably awestruck.

Ode To J Smith is Travis's loudest, edgiest and most arresting record since their debut. Written in 5 weeks and recorded in just 14 days, it's the sound of a band re-born, re-inspired and re-energised. Says bassist Dougie Payne, "we wanted this record to have some rough edges. In the past we might have been guilty of making really beautiful things that were so smooth you almost slipped off them. You can't say that about this one. We really pushed ourselves. It's like prog-pop; lots happening in about three minutes". (More info on the album coming soon!)
