Here by Teenage Fanclub

Here, Teenage Fanclub's tenth album, arrived on 9 September 2016, released through PeMa, a label the band runs themselves, in Europe and through Merge across North America, and it's the Glasgow veterans doing what they have always done better than almost anyone: three songwriters taking turns at the mic and polishing guitar pop until it glows. Norman Blake, Raymond McGinley and Gerard Love, the trio who founded the band back in 1989, split the songs and the lead vocals between them, with Francis MacDonald on drums and Dave McGowan filling out the sound.

There's no reinvention here and none needed: chiming guitars, soft-focus harmonies and a grown-up, unhurried warmth. It also turned out to be a last chapter of sorts. It was the final Fanclub album with bassist and co-founder Love, who left in November 2018.
