专辑介绍：
新专辑名为【Ode To J. Smith】，很多乐迷纳闷J. Smith是何等人物，根据崔维斯的解释，J. Smith在苏格兰是所谓的“菜市场名”，这张专辑是描写并献给默默无名的小人物们。2008年初筹备新专辑时，为了配合贝斯手Dougie老婆的预产期，崔维斯接受时间压缩的挑战，在短短三个月内创作并录制完成新专辑。专辑标题曲“J. Smith”，数段吉他独奏加上戏剧张力十足的拉丁圣乐唱诗班和声，展现乐团的新生命力。崔维斯以这首标题曲作为起点，建构一张极具故事性的叙事专辑。从情绪高亢的“Something Anything”、“Long Way Down”到低荡的“Broken Mirror”；从抒情写意的“Friends”，到恣意奔放的“Song To Self”，最后是清澈动人的结束曲“Before You Were Young”。崔维斯新专辑代表了乐团的重生、创作灵感的再现、还有充沛的原动力，他们不断地挑战自己的极限，激发无限摇滚创意，却依然能够左右听众的情感，征服乐迷的心。
Ode To J. Smith by Travis is 11 tracks of their loudest, edgiest and most arresting record yet. The album was recorded at Rak Studios in London and produced by Emery Dobyns (Antony & The Johnsons, Patti Smith, Battles) and mixed at Electric Lady Studios in NY. Healy says this album was 'born out of a rush of creative urgency, a need to make a record; it has to be amazing...the most cohesive thing we've ever done. When you move so quickly, there is little time to reflect. You have to be decisive.' In 12 years, Travis has sold ten million records, numerous accolades, headlined festivals all over the world.
