Teenage Fanclub - Endless Arcade (Album Review) Thursday, 06 May 2021 Photo: Donald Milne Since Teenage Fanclub released ‘Grand Prix’ in 1995, we kinda know what’s coming when an album appears. Well versed in the ways of The Byrds, if not direct disciples, there are usually recognisable flecks of the Californian legends’ music, such as Roger McGuinn’s jangly guitars and David Crosby’s love of harmonised vocals, in the Scottish outfit’s indie-rock confections. ‘Grand Pri...

Reviews / / 06 · 05 · 2021 For about three decades now, Glasgow’s own Teenage Fanclub have been a dependable force in the indie pop universe. Driven forwards by three incredible songwriters, the band seemed to weather everyone that was thrown at them – from the tornado that was Creation Records onwards into the 21st century. But change comes for us all, eventually. A shift in line up finds Teenage Fanclub embarking on subtle evolution on new album ‘Endless Arcad...

(Little Simz also did an FUV Live session two years ago too.) On September 3, Little Simz releases her fourth album, Sometimes I Might Be Introvert, and on "UKNY" at 11 tonight, the epic first single from that album, a collaboration between Simz, he...

Bandcamp / Buy New music from Teenage Fanclub settles into the world like the first days of spring—subtly, quietly, with a sigh of relief. For fans of the long-running Scottish power-pop band, the defining qualities of their music—chiming three-part harmonies, breezy major-key melodies, and dreamy, lovesick lyrics—have come to feel so pleasant and familiar that measuring their current work against their past can seem a little beside the point: Could it be sunnier?
