	The Invisible Band - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Invisible Band is the third studio album by the Scottish rock band Travis, first released in 2001.
		The title of the album reflects the band's feeling that their music is more important than the band making it.
		The title may be an allusion to Adam Smith's "invisible hand".

	The Invisible Band by Travis
		The likelihood of either of the bands you have chosen being Travis is remote and therein lies the problem with this four-piece from Glasgow.
		But, when considering a band who specialise in albums to fall asleep to, this lack of overt passion may not be too surprising.
		In conclusion, 'The Invisible Band' is hardly ground-breaking but is not without its charms unlike many of their contemporaries' recent efforts - namely the Stereophonics and David Gray.

	TRAVIS: The Invisible Band (Epic) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		With the bands new effort, The Invisible Band, Travis brings folk-influenced guitars behind warm melodies, textures and sincerity.
		Stand out cuts on The Invisible Band include "Sing," "Dear Diary," and "Flowers in the Window." These songs, unlike the others on "The Invisible Band" are a sing-a-long free-for-all.
		If the band keeps evolving as it has they will not be an invisible band for long.

		As a child, I remember being constantly pinched on the cheek in synagogue by elderly women (AKA the Sisterhood, not to be confused with the female rap group, tha' Sista-hood).
		Judging by Travis'; third album, the Invisible Band, the Scottish four seem very comfortable with their "cute" label.
		Invisible is the "Temple of Doom" to The Man Who's "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

		The Invisible Band marks no major change in direction for Travis but this is no bad thing.
		Which doesn't matter a jot, because The Invisible Band is such a natural, instantly loveable and thoroughly unforced record, it seems thoroughly churlish to knock it.
		Invisible band is what I like about Travis so much, they produce music which is just honest and straight from the heart.

		While it easy to take pot shots at indie bands that break into the mainstream (Stereophonics for example), there are examples of commercially successful bands that have remained true to their original gameplan.
		'The Invisible Band' is decorated by a lush carpet of jangling guitar parts that often rescue the tunes they belong to from obscurity.

		The Invisible Band is a record perfectly at home in a college dorm, a cabin in the middle of nowhere, or at your local department store.
		The Invisible Band is a great record, no doubt about it, it fusses with the understated and paints all those beautiful pictures we loved on The Man Who.
		With recent interest in bands like Coldplay, Keane and Snow Patrol, (all of whom I think are wonderful), one cannot but feel that Travis implements the best of all worlds into their tableau.

		To expect the band to follow that masterpiece with a superior album is asking too much, even of someone with as soulfully melodic a voice as Fran Healy.
		Which is not to say that their new release, The Invisible Band isn't a worthy purchase - because it is.
		The first song (and the album's first single), "Sing," is an energetic opener, highlighted by the banjo being picked in the background.

	The Music Box: Travis - The Invisible Band
		For the members of Travis, they simply returned to the studio to perfect and polish their formula, which has resulted in the equally charismatic The Invisible Band.
		Throughout The Invisible Band, songs weave together in near conversational style, and though the disc is not a concept album, it definitely finds the band beginning to lean in that direction.
		Though its songs continue to pay tribute to an ever widening array of influences, the band deftly has merged these together to create something that is uniquely its own.

	The Invisible Band \| music : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The band got a lot of guff from critics for copping Radiohead's trippy, lost in the clouds 'tude, but where Radiohead vocalist Thom Yorke tends to veer off into heady abstraction, Travis frontman Francis Healy grounds his romantic odes in jangly, foursquare song structures that echo the band's Brit pop forebears Oasis and Blur.
		''The Invisible Band'' is less assertive than its predecessor, but even when the songs hover in the ether, they maintain a strong melodic center of gravity.
		So faithfully does ''The Invisible Band'' re-create ''The Man Who'''s gauzy vibe that a few tracks come close to sounding like retreads, particularly the opener ''Sing,'' which is almost a reprise of sorts to the previous record's kick starter, ''Writing to Reach You.'' But that in no way detracts from the album's tremulous beauty.

		You know you've got too much time on your hands when you make a point of reading the thanks list on an album, but if you overlooked Travis' you'd miss an acknowledgement that captures their entire appeal: "to you for getting this record.
		There is no fuss about Travis, their 'here we are, here are the songs, they'll fit on one side of a tape, thank you' ethos has made them the outfit of choice for people who have no interest in the next big thing but just want something they can hum in the car.
		'The Invisible Band' won't change your world but it should go some way to making the next tailback more tolerable.

		Although Travis claimed The Invisible Band would be more cheerful, it seems the epic funk that Travis settled into couldn't be completely escaped.
		Although The Invisible Band trails off a bit after the first half dozen songs, it picks up at the end with perhaps the silliest song title ever, "The Humpty Dumpty Love Song".
		Travis is certainly a band that has grown and will continue to do so.

		Luckily, a band with a love of melancholia such as Travis provide that dark side in abundance.
		It comes as a bit of a shock to hear this in the middle of what is essentially a happy album, and it makes listening all the more pleasurable.
		The only criticism that could be levelled at The Invisible Band is that Travis seem to have forgotten how to rock out.

	Tower Records - The Invisible Band - Travis
		With all eyes upon the group for a follow-up, the foursome opts not for the deconstructed expectation-confounded tactics of Radiohead's KID A, but instead continues on the same path they'd already been heading down.
		THE INVISIBLE BAND is considerably softer than the band's previous albums, pursuing the ballad as transcendent mode of expression, but the popcraft is just as winningly melodic, the guitars just as jangly and inviting, and Fran Healy's songs as subtly accessible as ever.
		Closing with one of the album's most powerful songs, the affecting, broken-hearted ballad "The Humpty Dumpty Love Song," THE INVISIBLE BAND is an admirable display of Travis's continued strength and staying power.

		One can tell that Healey has certainly been thoughtful in laying down what is on his mind, and the music reflects that, especially with the appropriately varied instrumentation that includes banjo, string sections, and all kinds of subtle keyboard effects that flow along wonderfully.
		With The Invisible Band, Travis fully develop their own unique style of 21st Century folk rock; it is the kind of record to play really loud with every window open in your house on a breezy summer afternoon.
		Free of their earlier influences,Travis have made an album that makes no demands of its listener; it exists simply to be enjoyed, which is I'm pretty sure why most people listen to music in the first place.

		Although The Invisible Band is primarily a "wedding band" (which isn't to say we won't play any type of party - big or small, casual or formal), we don't do many formal wedding showcases.
		You'll get a better performance from a band that is playing to a crowd of people who are having fun rather than playing to a roomful of "critics".
		The Invisible Band is always looking for new places to play.

		Yet although the likes of 'Turn' and 'Driftwood' were undeniably easy on the ear paradigms for thoughtful indie/adult rock, they seemed to lack any kind of edge to go further particularly on the unremarkable 'Why Does It Always Rain On Me?' which was in danger of becoming their musical albatross.
		It seems as they have never been away but the follow-up release signifies their intention to become known as an albums band.
		The singles thus far, 'Sing' and 'Side', both feature hypnotic tunes courtesy mainly of Andy Dunlop's fine guitar work; the former is hopeful and joyous whilst the latter is steeped in melancholy.

	Deep Groove Encyclopedia - Invisible Man's Band (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The Invisible Man's Band was a pseudonym for the Five Stairsteps, known for "Ooh Child" in the early 70s.
		As time went on, the group explored harder sounds that were incongrous with their established persona, so brothers Clarnce (guitar), Keni (bass), Jams (vibes), and Dennis (guitar) teamed with drummer Steve Ferrone of the Average White Band and keyboardist Dean Gant for two albums as the Invisible Man's Band in the 80s.
		A departure from previous work, this LP recalls Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band with their dreamy arrangements and pointed lyrics, but these tracks have a more pronounced disco-funk flavor.

	Travis: The Invisible Band
		Formed in 1990, this Scottish band is the perfect new music sound for baby boomers and Gen Xers's alike.
		We especially like the fact that it reminds us of the unfettered tone of early 90's music and then surprises you with a beatnik poetry atmosphere, (you'll be expecting Bob Dylan to join in any second) during the next song, only to transport you to the days of Beattle mania pop in the next.
		Textured, wholesome, modern and diverse, these are just some of the reasons Travis' The Invisible Band makes our pick for the perfect Couples Music.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: The Invisible Band, Travis, CD
		On The Invisible Band, their third full-length album, Travis till the same sincere pop territory that's been bearing fruits for the past several years, but that's not likely to garner too many complaints from their growing cadre of fans.
		Healy's debt to Paul McCartney is certainly clear, particularly on simpler songs like "Safe" (which Healy wrote in his late teens) and more sentimental heart-spillers (especially the synthesizer-drenched "Humpty Dumpty Love Song").
		Smart, subtle, and more than a little bit sultry, The Invisible Band may not demand to be seen -- but it does demand to be heard.
