An album that meant a lot to me in 1999 and still does twenty five years later. I don't give a fig what the hipsters say. Although I'm quite aware that I can come across as a full on Hipster Snob in other contexts.Hey, I'm a hypocrite. Sue me...
Travis, and this record in particular did and still do something to me. Well written songs, winsome melodies well-judged lyrics and most of all sincerity. Four friends playing together. Travis had their moment in the sun in 1999. It was the lull before the millenium. I still feel a tug emotionally when I hear Drifwood and Turn. Even Why Does It Always Rain On Me doesn't pall completely. Even though you've hear it so many times. Travis were Belle & Sebastian for the masses. I can't see why this is a bad thing..
