  • Released in 1999, The Man Who is the breakthrough album from Scottish band Travis. Known for its introspective lyrics and melodic melancholy, it helped lay the groundwork for the post-Britpop movement. Produced by Nigel Godrich (Radiohead), the album features lush arrangements and heartfelt songwriting, with standout tracks like “Why Does It Always Rain on Me?”, “Driftwood”, and “Writing to Reach You”. Its quiet emotional gravity made it a surprise commercial and critical success.
