As The Quietus once wrote, “if you fall for Teenage Fanclub, you fall hard.” The Glasgow five-piece are still going strong in 2023, preparing for the release of their 11th studio album, Nothing Lasts Forever, in September (pre-save/pre-order here).

Nothing Lasts Forever was recorded over an intense ten-day period in the Welsh countryside. These songs are definitely personal,” says founding member Norman Blake. “You’re getting older, you’re going into the cupboard getting the black suit out more often. Thoughts of mortality and the idea of the light must have been playing on our minds a lot… When we write, it’s a reflection of our lives.”

“The record feels reflective, and I think the more we do this thing, the more we become comfortable with going to that place of melancholy, feeling and expressing those feelings,” adds fellow founding member Raymond McGinley.
