Full review
I bought this album because "The Man Who" monopolised my cd player for most of last year. "Invisible Band" is a superb album - every track has meaning and there is a broad range of emotions, from the power of being in love to the pain of betrayal.
They've introduced a banjo on some of the tracks, which works really well. 'Sing' and 'Flowers in the window' are feelgood tracks, definitely designed for singing along. At the opposite end of the scale is 'Last train' with the depressing theme of "what's the point?".
The harmonies on all the tracks are superb and whatever mood you're in, this album is sure to match it.
The downside: it's too short.
The upside: the clever lyrics ('Humpty Dumpty Love Song), the intricate harmonies and the unique sound that is Travis.
