Teenage Fanclub - Foreign Land

[@RT-ml5id]

I'm driving my wife and kids nuts cranking this at full volume. What a great DAD song. Great band just got even better. I think this is the best they've ever been. I'm going out of my mind just listening to it.

[@etamommy]

completely agree with you. The couple things I have heard from this new record are even catchier and than usual!

[@Ilikeitlikethis]

We may be middle aged but we recognise great songs !

[@douglassalg9863]

teenage fanclub was a band no one I knew ever listened to... except the girls I played it for late at night, cruising around Boulder listening on cassette, bad fuzz and streetlights and these fucking guys.

[@gf301]

Love those chords, they pull you in right from the off. Sweet and powerful at the same time, the whole song is pure joy. Brilliant stuff!

[@etamommy]

nobody harmonizes like these guys lately. Not too many bands with the melodic sense of Teenage Fanclub but also with some muscle when needed.

[@alisherseitkassym2759]

I don't know how many fans from Kazakhstan you guys have, but I'm one them and very happy about it :)

[@BryanJones]

[@nankerphelge3771]

A very Moody Blues vibe! I dig it.

[@jamesheine2955]

With a MOOG!

[@hawrermctez]

The original purveyors of some the worlds finest vintage guitars. I'm never disappointed.

[@ChrisJKing-se4dp]

Oh what joy , Power pop is alive and well , thanks Teenage Fanclub ,welcome back

[@paulgardner-uy6fh]

Bloody brilliant the boys are back

I can't get enough of this song's cheerfulness 🧡 I keep playing and playing and playing...

As always with TF, beautiful melodies, sweet harmonies, and great songwriting

[@keithkoenig5320]

Despite the changes the band has endured, they still sound fantastic. Their records, past AND present, mean so much to me. Glad they are still at it. Looking forward to the new album! ❤

[@Boblobblaw88]

That bassline is awesome. Great song too. Just what I needed!

[@bosscaine]

Yes lads!

[@Ziggernaut]

Ok another band that took me by surprise this week 😁😁😁

[@humboldtgift5128]

Just wish the whole album was being released now, to accompany the summer. Oh well, a summer extender...looking forward to it

[@IronPig_75]

I've always loved Teenage Fanclub. Saw them in LA on their last tour and they still deliver a great show. So glad to see they are still making new music.

[@ijc1971]

Love it on the first listen! Gerry might be gone but is not forgotten! X

Oh man you have been sooooo missed .best tonic for summer

First Blur and now the Fannies, too? Oh my 2023 you are spoiling me!

[@Yutaka.M]

[@Mark-ez5zx]

Wicked control on that solo, Raymond. Great song lads

[@patwell6853]

Classic Fannies 🎤

[@powerboon2k]

I was listening to some Gerry Rafferty and this came on autoplay and I thouht it was still the same band. Purely great bands.

[@AlessandroGiovannini1990]

love you guys! greetings from Italy

[@gisazurnieden9058]

*whooptzie*, awesome melody and harmonies 💖 (can't wait for more 😀)

Great song, loving the bass line and tone

[@paulgilfeather2690]

Wonderful to hear such a great track from these guys! On repeat ❤

[@erikmorrisonalba3787]

Norman Blake from Bellshill Lanarkshire is a legendary songwriter. This song is right on my moment. I'm feeling it. I need direction and I found it right here. Hamilton Mausoleum! We know they were Nazis but the architecture sings. Peace be with you brothers & sisters.

[@njl77777]

Great song no doubt it’s one of Norman’s. Hamilton mausoleum is looking great too.

[@jasonadolf980]

Euros is such an awesome addition to the band. Loving this! ❤

[@borachon26]

Euros is great. Shame they had to shaft Gerry though.

[@nathalieplum2137]

His moving leg! Impressed me the only time I saw Gorky's live 😍

[@LeGrandeOrange]

@@borachon26 How so? I thought that Gerry simply didn't want to fly to gigs anymore, which rendered wide scale touring impossible, while Norman and Ray wanted to continue to tour. So they decided to part ways, perhaps not happily, but not with great bitterness either. Is there more to it than that?

[@borachon26]

@@LeGrandeOrange Just my opinion based on my reading of events. Gerry specifically didn't want to fly to the Far East and Antipodes when there was no album to promote. He doesn't like flying, but will do it out of necessity. The rest of the band insisted he went or left the band. Some people might think that's fair enough. I personally feel there's no reason he had to leave the band completely. They effectively carried on with session musicians anyway, so looking at it logically, it seems a purely vindictive act to me. Gerry said Norman and Raymond didn't even discuss it with him. I still love the Fannies, but it's not the same.

[@LeGrandeOrange]

I find it hard to believe that Norman and Ray would be that vindictive to Gerry after 30+ years together. There must be more to it than that. @@borachon26

[@chuckschillingvideos]

This reminds me of Dreamtime-era Stranglers (and, yes, that's a very good thing).

[@johnporcellino5040]

Wow! Fantastic!

[@dezfoley]

Great stuff! Looking forward to September!!

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

I bought Bandwagonesque when it came out back in 1990-ish as a result of singles off that album getting decent airplay on the Modern Rock/Alt-Rock station that I was listening to at the time but lost track of them soon afterward due to my attention being swept away by all of the Seattle bands and Lollapalooza acts that took over that market for the next few/several years. I've been aware that they've "come back" in recent years, but this is my first hearing of any new material of theirs since the mid '90s

[@tastemaker_87]

I really dig this seemingly new folkier sound with the organ etc, this song alone has got me interested in a new release or a tour. Bravo lads.

[@nicolasbaranowski9954]

I've been a big fan of Teenage fan club since I saw this group in France in 1992. It's very sad and unfortunate that Gérard Love left the group. However, I discovered his solo project under the name of Lightships and I confess: it's wonderful! I advise you to discover 'Electric cables'. splendid

[@nicolasbaranowski9954]

I am quite positively conquered. there is a touch of High Llamas in this group. Right now I'm listening to: Cruyff in the bedroom, Ray, My dead girlfriend, Plastic girl in closet, Number girl (Japanese pixies). If you have other musical proposals: you are welcome!🙋‍♂️

[@JoeyLevenson]

@@nicolasbaranowski9954I know those, Japanese shoegaze/noise pop. Good call.

[@lucyphilips3443]

This song is too short! Is there an extended version?! Have to keep playing over and over! 🤩

[@lionelbensoussan7702]

Once again the most excting band around. Sounds a bit like the Feelies in the late 80's. I can't wait to hear the whole album.

To me this song has a flavor of Euros' band Gorky's Zygotic Mynci. I'd be curious to know how much of an input he had on it.

That's not going to happen going by the interviews with both parties. They just need to let Euros contribute to the level Gerry did.
