Scottish pop veterans TEENAGE FANCLUB just shared a brand new track since their 2016 album Here and one year after bassist, vocalist, and founding member Gerard Love left the band. The title of the new song EVERYTHING IS FALLING APART doesn’t sound optimistic but sonically it has that vintage Fanclub swagger and catchy melodiousness. Tune in here…
‘Songs From Northern Britain’
TEENAGE FANCLUB
Released: 29 July 1997
Sixth longplayer
ALL MUSIC wrote: “No longer the brash, slightly grungy flavor of the month they were
in 1992, Songs From Northern Britain finds Teenage Fanclub’s trio of singer/songwriters
– Gerard Love, Raymond McGinley, and Norman Blake – addressing adulthood and responsibility with a bright optimism that sets them apart from many of their contemporaries. From the cheeky yet heartfelt title to the gorgeous cover photographs taken by the band with photographer David Milne in the Scottish Highlands, Songs From Northern Britain is ostensibly
a concept album about home and love. The album may be too gentle and subtle for those listeners not willing to give it more than one spin, it is a resolutely beautiful album that will
most likely stand as Teenage Fanclub’s masterpiece.” Score: 9/10 – Full review here.
TURN UP THE VOLUME says: ‘Mesmerizing LP by the Scottish Byrds and Eagles’…
