Time hasn’t been on our side Or any side at all Remind me to remember We were feeling optimistic Wishing we were weightless And all our dreams weren’t wasted I’m sorry I’m not sorry at all I’m sorry It’s taken me so long to say so Always sooner or later Desires tucked away We walk on pins and needles Now I play fortune teller We fall apart together Build something that’s better I’m not sorry I’m not sorry at all I’m sorry It’s taken me so long to say so So sorry I’m not sorry at all I’m sorry It’s taken me so long to say so

Night Drive You're the one I want Right here next to me Dig me out and suddenly I'm right where I want to be She took my picture I was laughing all the way back home We wrote a theme song One trick pony in a one horse town It's coming down Star sign Feel it all around Round two deja vu Dig me out and suddenly I'm right where I want to be She took my picture I was laughing all the way back home We wrote a theme song One trick pony in a one horse town It's coming down

Fun Forever 02:54
When I see you In the morning Making friends with a ghost We’re spirits Pushing the limits Out on the pavement Drag your feet and smile It won’t be fun forever It won’t be fun for everyone When I see you Fascinated Only child Ttrue to form In the slow burn of summer You were designing a meltdown Here we go Draw the line Call me out I don’t mind I’ve been so tired Hey pal Don’t crumble inside

Heat Wave 02:14
It all makes sense to me Wouldn’t you agree? This looks a lot like your street Looking at our feet In no rush to leave We were dancing in my dreams Heatwave Honeybee Show me something good That I can see Am I talking way to much? Did you zone out a bunch? Slow shutter speed Half asleep Heatwave Honeybee Show me something good That I can see Heatwave Every year Whisper something good In my ear You don’t have to leave It’s all bittersweet Heatwave I’ll be here Whisper something good In my ear

Slow Parade 03:28
It’s a slow parade With no follow through Things won’t start to change Until we start to Something’s wrong We’re due for a repair We were calm Like electric air We get lost Signals crossed And if we disappear Grab a souvenir Keep me company Maybe sure I’m fine I hope you’re wondering From time to time Something’s wrong We’re due for a repair We were calm Like electric air We get lost Signals crossed And if we disappear Grab a souvenir It’s a slow parade With no follow through Things won’t start to change Until we start to

Scatterbrain 03:08
I’ve been up on all night This isn’t the first time Bottles on the porch Living separate lives I’d rather be here and now I’d rather be on your doorstep I’m an ordinary person Twisted inside out You can tell me anything You can tell me anything You can spin my dizzy brain Drift into my dreams again Maybe I’ll never find What I can’t define You’re already on your way out Digging up a plan You can tell me anything You can tell me anything You can save my scatterbrain Drifting through my dreams again Tonight the moon Is in my room Calling me home And I don’t feel like I used to

Tundra 02:47
Somedays all the time Heartbreak by design Blame it on the circumstance Throw it on the fire Blame it on the galaxy My feelings could change There’s no sword in the stone Can’t keep what I don’t own Front of the line or the end Asking for a friend Blame it on the circumstance Throw it on the fire Blame it on the galaxy My feelings could change There’s no sword in the stone Can’t do this on my own Front of the line or the end Asking for a friend

Safari 03:57
We’re strangers in our skin So out of place Don’t compromise No need to copy paste I wish that I would listen When my heart would say We can’t let it go to waste Been staring a screen Bring on the sun Get over it We might not have that long We need to make the most Of this right now Somehow We can’t let it go to waste

Et Cetera 02:45
You gotta pick your poison Gimme me some serotonin We gotta shift the mood I misunderstood you This time takes time Maybe I'll know when I know Et cetera Et cetera Speed-reader supermarket Hard-boiled bottlerocket We gotta shift the mood I misunderstood you This time takes time Maybe I'll know when I know Et cetera Et cetera

Easy 01:46
One last time It's easier said than done

Seasons 04:06
Comb my hair Behind my ear Empty beach Souvenir Sing into the salty air and Touch the sand Wonderland You are my memory I'm half a world away I don't know what I need Nothing's real Let's buy some time and Multi-task Repeat the line You belong above the clouds Kiss the stars Take a bow Same routine Different day Now we play The waiting game So much more I couldn't say Smiley face Brain delay You are my memory I'm half a world away I don't know what I need So much more I couldn't say Smiley face Brain delay

We Will 02:40
If it’s all water under the bridge Then we both need a drink Don’t forget what really matters Save all the laughter For ever after Missing pieces Until we meet again Missing pieces Until we meet again We will We will If it’s all water under the bridge Then we’ll put out the fire Don’t forget what really matters Break all the patterns Missing pieces Until we meet again Missing pieces Until we meet again We will We will

about

When J Travis set about recording his first full-length album, he was searching for solace from the outside world. The veteran musician and photographer turned inward, letting a sustained outpouring of ideas wash over his emotional uncertainty.

Isolated and searching for joy, his new music reflects that journey, welcoming a healthy dose of cathartic repose. "United Hairlines" explores a sense of self that feels like it’s sometimes slipping away, awash in a dream state.

It’s an album that embraces the importance of patience and dedication. Lovestruck songs that channel ‘90s influences, rendered through sparkly melodies, gauzy guitars, and introspective lyrics.

"United Hairlines" is a document of Travis’ kaleidoscopic sonic palette showcasing an elevated sonic maturity and bringing fuzzed-out idiosyncrasies into harmony. Full of mesmerizing intimacy that hints at everything from The Sundays and The Cure to Nada Surf and The War on Drugs, "United Hairlines" is a beguiling, ethereal debut.

J Travis looks to now lead with love instead of fear, showcasing a pure distillation of his life journey.

United Hairlines arrives on 9/9 on Sugar Records.
