The Fannies. These chaps are well reliable. A bit like Burt Reynolds (or Burnt Remnants as my Gramps used to say) you know what youre getting with them. No nonsense, professional and hugely enjoyable....but with a moustache. Teenage Fanclub probably don't have 'taches but they know how to write a fucking great tune (or ten). This album has some truly great song smithery. They should and probably could give Ray Davies a run for his money in the "casting an eye over modern life and writing truly great songs about it" stakes. These songs are pure quality. As Andy Gray would say on FIFA 10 "..take that and pop into the top drawer..genuine class..". Its really hard not to like this collection of songs and feed off their unrelenting positivity. Even though one of the songs has the same chord structure as "Goin' Loco (Down in Acapulco)". You will find this album very rewarding and alluring....a bit like Burt Reynolds. 5/5!!! and a bottle of rum.....
• The most cherished band of their generation, Teenage Fanclub return with a brand new album, ‘Shadows’.
• It has been 5 long years since their last album, 'Man-Made', was released to universal acclaim, so it is no overstatement to say the new album is keenly anticipated.
• While most bands are lucky to have one great songwriter, Teenage Fanclub are blessed with three, hence ‘Shadows’ is overflowing with the kind of gorgeous, harmony driven classics you'd expect to find on a greatest hits album.
