Man-Made - Teenage Fanclub CD
The long-awaited 7th studio album from Scotlands Teenage Fanclub is finally nearing release. The bands meteoric rise to critical acclaim in the early 1990s as part of the Creation Records family (a family which also included My Bloody Valentine) and later Geffen Records on which they released Bandwagonesque (an album heralded by Spin Magazine as Best Album of 1991 and humorously by others as "a shit album with shit songs") has been, at times, inconsistent. In spite of personnel changes and critical woes, the band has never wavered from its endearing and affectionate embrace of its heroes - Big Star, the Beatles, Neil Young, and the Byrds. Man-Made is no exception to the rule and should be universally heralded by critics as one of Teenage Fanclubs best efforts (if not their very best). These 12 songs find harmonic convergences of pitch-perfect vocals, warm and inviting multi-layered fuzztone guitars and keyboards planting their classic brand of 60s and 70s pop earworms gently. If the hundreds of bands that were launched in the wake of Teenage Fanclubs popularity werent enough evidence, then Man-Made is proof positive of why the Fannies no longer merely pay homage to their power pop influences; they have firmly established their place among the upper echelons of power pops most important and influential artists. Pema. 2005. * No US release until June.Additional Info: Longtime fans of Teenage Fanclub's sweet guitar pop need not fear that 2005's MAN-MADE, produced by renown experimentalist and Tortoise member John McEntire, is a radical departure from form. The band's impeccably crafted melodicism, which draws on the jangling, harmony-soaked tradition of the Byrds and Big Star, is intact. In fact, MAN-MADE, while not a progressive leap forward, may be Teenage Fanclub's most mature, focused, and sustained effort. The core trio all contribute songs, and whether it is Norman Blake's plaintive, poppy opener "It's All in My Mind," or Raymond McGinley's breezy, emotive "Feel," or Gerard Love's "Fallen Leaves," an expansive, chiming rocker, the sound is as pleasurable as ever.Specifics
