New Video: Travis, ‘Moving’

Watch Travis' "Moving" video.

Watch Travis animate a winter night with the power of breathing in their "Moving" video.

"Moving" seems like the right title for the new single from Travis, the Britpop band that's back after a five-year absence. (Hope they got caught up on "Game of Thrones.") The group -- known for melancholy yet never maudlin classics such as "Why Does It Always Rain On Me" and "Sing" -- seem to be taking a new direction on their comeback set, with the latest track a swift, streamlined pop-rock effort. Still in the mix, of course: singer Fran Healy's golden melodies, pouring through like sun through dark clouds.

The band takes advantage of the weather in their "Moving" video, which captures the band beanie'd out in a Scottish winter, their breath gray and foggy in the night air. But those deep breathes take on a surprising life of their own, becoming the canvas for a projector's images as Healy and his bandmates face each other and sing. The results: footage of an unstoppable stick-figure man running and flying against breath-fog obstacles as the band members share what must've been an intimate, freezing, CGI-free few hours on the set. Travis: animation troopers! The band's Where You Stand is due Aug. 19. Warm up with the video below.
