Teenage Fanclub release their tenth studio album ‘Endless Arcade’, via their own PeMa imprint (Merge in the USA).
Available on CD, LP, Bandcamp download, and translucent pink vinyl packaged in a special die-cut jacket, the 12 tracks include singles ‘Home‘, and ‘I’m More Inclined‘.
The new album was recorded in Hamburg’s Clouds Hill Studio, where the band mixed ‘Endless Arcade’s predecessor ‘Here’ – released in 2016, their first UK Top 10 album since 1997. It’s also their first with a new lineup, following founder member Gerard Love’s departure, which has seen Euros Childs join the band on keyboards and vocals, with Dave McGowan switching over to bass and vocals.
Raymond McGinley says of the album: “I think of an endless arcade as a city that you can wander through, with a sense of mystery, an imaginary one that goes on forever… When it came to choosing an album title, it seemed to have something for this collection of songs.”
The band have a diary full of dates kicking off with a set at Doune the Rabbit Hole, which takes place at Cardross Estate in Stirlingshire from August 12th – 15th, followed by UK and European shows as follows:
