Travis, The Boy With No Name

When I first listened to Travis’s The Man Who back to 1999, I was thinking ”Oh, another traditional British rock band.”

In the post-Oasis era, surrounding by a superband, U2, and a god-like band, Radiohead, it seemed nothing about British rock can arise my excitement. Although The Man Who enjoyed sales success, Travis’s ready-to-take-off was offset by Coldplay’s Parachutes.

The Boy With No Name was released in 2007. As AMG said, they are still ordinary and they are not trying to achieve anything. But that’s why I like this easy-listening, comfortable album.
