TEENAGE FANCLUB are back with “Here”, its their tenth studio album available now on CD and limited-edition and clear vinyl. After six years away: Scottish Alternative rockers Teenager Fanclub released Here.
One of the best albums from their 21st-centiury cannon: no cracks or fatigue to be found; simply an unstoppable band full of inspiration and quality. In fact, Here could have arrived back in 1990 (when their debut, Catholic Education, came out) and I’m In Love is the perfect exemplification of that theory. Breezy, catchy and romantic: a song that puts a smile on the face and motivates you to sing along. It’s insanely catchy chorus states: “It feels good/With you next to me/That’s enough, that’s enough/”This is not such a mystery/I’m in love/With Your love”. A sensational, hugely uplifting and glorious track from the Bellshill legends. Let’s hope they have many more albums left in them.
“Poignant and bittersweet, Here is a record about things slipping away and being clutched tighter as a result.”
“The group’s usual ornate indie-rock and stately jangle mingle with psychedelic-tinted sprawls (the spaced-out ‘I Was Beautiful When I Was Alive’) and grungier pop (‘Live in the Moment’).”
“Here is an album that both longtime devotees and new fans will hold dear.” —Bust Magazine
