"12 Memories" is in any case the best album of Travis, long time the band was called uncool and no longer accepted in the britpop- / independent scene. Thus, this album is a real "comeback" and proof that they can make wonderful music that stirs up. Titles like "happy to hang around" could also Oasis or Coldplay originate, very slow and consistent. and "Quicksand", "re-offender", "Love Will Come Through" and "The Beautiful Occupation" have to say much, they are beautiful, have beautiful and own permanent melodies that can no longer get out of your head, very impressing , great instruments (guitar / piano) and a usual good voice. It is striking that especially "The Beautiful Occupation" sounds very much like the Beatles. Lyrics are all very profound, as befits this kind of music, so what to think. otherwise this record is just so chilled, you can endlessly in random mode can go through. much more relaxed than Oasis, you can the album of music by Briskeby, Stereophonics, readymade, Beta Band or Coldplay compare. partly the music could also come from Radiohead, for example, "How Many Hearts", "walking down the hill" (is on a train a grschichte told) or "somewhere else", sounding a bit like "a punchup at a wedding" or "There There" from their album "Hail to the Thief". easy music for any time on this thing is always something for everyone. There is an annex to a twelfth title, "Some Sad Song", comes after a short break after the last piece. total certainly the quintessential Britpop-style, highly recommended.
