SCOTTISH band Travis have released a new single ahead of the release of their 10th studio album later this year.
The Scottish rockers led by Fran Healy will release L.A. Times on July 12 this year and released their latest single, Gaslight, on Thursday.
The latest album will arrive 25 years after the band released their breakthrough number one album The Man Who.
Travis are set to begin a huge live season this summer, performing with The Killers across their 16-date UK arena tour through June and July.
Speaking about the new single Gaslight, Healy said: “I read a few weeks ago that gaslighting was the most web-searched word in the world.
“We are living in a time where our realities are being warped by bosses, leaders, friends, teachers and politicians.
“It really is everywhere. Gaslighters want to control you.
"They tell you things which undermine your confidence in yourself and make you question reality and it makes you feel like you’re going crazy.”
Travis were first formed at the Glasgow School of Art in the 1990s and are best known for their much-loved records The Man Who, The Invisible Band, and The Boy With No Name.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
