Travis have revealed that they will start work on their seventh studio album while touring the US.
The group, who now release material on their own label, claimed that their Stateside jaunt will help boost their creativity.
"We're gonna hopefully write the whole thing, me and Andy [Dunlop] on the bus," singer Fran Healy told Billboard.
"I like the idea of writing an album going across America. I can kind of write anywhere; mostly I tend to sit in hotel rooms and quiet places, but I've written in the loudest, noisiest places imaginable, too.
