  • The Boy with No Name is the fifth studio album by Scottish Indie pop band Travis. The album was released on 7 May 2007 in the United Kingdom and on 8 May 2007 in the United States. The name of the album came about when lead singer Fran Healy and his partner Nora were deciding on a name for their newly born son. During this time, he sent a photo of his son to friend by email and labeled the photo "The Boy with No Name". Healy revealed this on the The Chris Moyles Show during an interview. Healy has also revealed in pre-album release performances that some tracks are influenced by his developing family status, such as "My Eyes" being about his new son or "Battleships" referring to ups and downs of relationships. "Closer" was released as the first single from the album in the United Kingdom on 23 April 2007, and peaked at #10 in the UK Singles Chart. The full album was available to purchase at the Virgin Megastore at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California over the weekend of 27 April 2007–29 April 2007. The Boy with No Name entered at #4 on the UK Album Charts and #1 on the UK iTunes charts. In the U.S. , the album debuted at number 58 on the Billboard 200, selling 12,000 copies in its first week. It largely received positive reviews from mainstream sources and critical reviews from more alternative sources. There was hope that this album would be certified platinum in the UK at the very least, with the singles charting strongly. However, despite this strong start the album only went gold in the UK and the third single "My Eyes" only made #60 - their worse chart placing during their career at the time. Before this "Selfish Jean" made #30, but still became a fan favorite unlike the latter. Travis dedicated this album to the Abbey Road Studios chief master engineer Chris Blair and British world champion rally driver Richard Burns, who died of a brain tumour at the age of 34 in 2005.

  • The Boy with No Name è il quinto studio album della indie rock band scozzese Travis. L'album è uscito il 7 maggio 2007 nel Regno Unito. Il titolo dell'album ha origine da un'email che il cantante Fran Healy e la moglie Nora hanno inviato ad un amico quando stavano scegliendo il nome da dare al loro figlio neonato. L'email conteneva una fotografia del piccolo, etichettata proprio "The Boy with No Name". L'album ha ricevuto critiche molto positive, e si è piazzato alla posizione #4 della UK Album Charts e alla #1 della UK iTunes chart. Negli Stati Uniti, l'album ha debuttato alla posizione #58 della Billboard 200, vendendo 12000 copie nella prima settimana.
