Teenage Fanclub
I'm In Love
PeMa / Merge

I'm In Love... with Teenage Fanclub! Well, it's not quite right, but I really like Teenage Fanclub's super-duper pop music. I've done that for years, almost ages. "I'm In Love" is the first taster from Teenage Fanclub's (TFC) upcoming album, Here which is due for release on 9 September. Here comes the endless summer, as most TFC songs are like beams of sun or mild sea breezes. From the Scottish highland, that is. A Scottish summer. Coming. Soon. Here.

TFC haven't put out an album since 2010's Shadows, and Here will be their 10th album proper. "I'm In Love" was launched on 21 June, which is summertime, at least here in Europe, Northern Hemisphere. Anyway, TFC's got three great songwriters in Blake, Love and McGinley, and this first single is a pure, blissful 'love pop song' by Blake. A beautiful, sweet and mellow melody with such neat guitars and harmonies - and some discreetly filling keyboards. Trademark TFG. Timeless, poppy guitar rock. Simple as that.

And it feels good when you're close to me
That's enough, That's enough
And I like your trajectory
I'm in love with you, love... Simple as that. Honest. From the heart. Ain't that enough? Verse, chrous, verse, chorus, guitar solo (short), chorus. The end. Put this on repeat while awaiting the new album.
