I have just bought Shadows, the new album by Teenage Fanclub and I can tell it will be a grower. I already love it but it will get better as I listen more over the next few weeks. You can check out a variety reviews on the world wide interweb and they all say the same thing; The Fannies have been growing into their ever evolving sound for the past 20 years. The twists of screeching feedback and scuzzy sounding guitars have given way to a softer folky feeling but the harmonies are still there and their mastery at song writing.
They still have the odd Big Star moments but sound more like The Byrds in some cases. I read one review and it compared their earlier work to a band called Raspberries so check them out on YouTube.
They are coming to Vancouver in October and playing a small club on the south side of downtown so Tracey and I are going with a couple of friends.
Here's the link to their website:
