Scottish indie icons Teenage Fanclub announce their thirteenth studio album ‘Do Not Dare To Dream’ and share the warmly melodic single ‘Day In The Sun’. Recorded at Black Bay Studios on the remote Isle of Great Bernera, the album places the band’s enduring guitar-pop instincts beside synthesizers, a church organ and the dramatic isolation of an island landscape.
‘Day In The Sun’ considers renewal and changing perspective with the gentle confidence of musicians who no longer need to pretend certainty is compulsory. The album title sounds pessimistic, but the music remains stubbornly hopeful. More than three decades into their career, Teenage Fanclub still make melancholy sound like an excellent reason to open the windows. Read more guitar-pop news in our Indie Rock section.
