FRAN HEALY OF TRAVIS TO RELEASE DEBUT SOLO ALBUM To give fans a glimpse of his new release, Healy is streaming the guitar-rich first single BUTTERCUPS on Spin.com: http://www.spin.com/articles/exclusive-song-travis-fran-healy-goes-solo Recorded in Berlin, New York and Vermont, the 10 tracks that make up WRECKORDER are as exceptionally literate as they are emotionally challenging. The collection of songs includes the Neko Case duet "Sing Me To Sleep" which bounces over warm melodies and a syncopated drum loop, the soaring "In The Morning," the playful but serious "Moonshine," and the dramatic waltz of "As It Comes" which features Paul McCartney on bass. The end result is the sound of a songwriter who embodied the spirit of Britpop and continues to artistically evolve. Healy is currently on a North American tour with Keane. The dates will see Healy performing this new material, as well as classic Travis songs, in a solo acoustic setting. In addition, Healy will play solo acoustic shows along the West Coast.
