L.A. Times (album)

L.A. Times is the tenth studio album by the Scottish rock band Travis, released on 12 July 2024 through BMG Rights Management.

[1] Mojo felt that "it's unlikely to set anything alight, but LA Times still leaves a warm glow",[4] while Record Collector called it "introspection with a keen ear for accessible melodies that help sweeten the bitter pills with which he's self-medicating".

[8] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic commented that "Travis aren't attempting to revive the hunger and ambition that fueled them as young men, they're testing the creative boundaries of middle age as they take stock of the state of a world in tumult.

"[9] MusicOMH's Chris White found that "it's hard not to admire a band who, a generation on from their heyday, continue to craft their undemanding but eminently listenable songs with passion and charm".

[5] Writing for PopMatters, Patrick Gill summarised that "the record does not deliver a consistent or compelling message, despite moments of quality that have always been present for a band of their caliber".
