Teenage Fanclub have shared another song from their upcoming album.
Built on mid-paced strummed guitars, Back To The Light offers an uplifting yet melancholic moment from 'Nothing Lasts Forever'. It'll appear on the record alongside the previously released cuts Foreign Land and Tired Of Being Alone. Speaking of the new track, songwriter and band co-founder Norman Blake said:
"I liked the idea of using being in a band as a metaphor for a personal relationship. They are not entirely dissimilar experiences. Like a few others on the album, this song has saxophone on it. The first time we’ve had that since Songs From Northern Britain. Stephen Black (Sweet Baboo) played those parts; we really like the richness it brings to the song. Steve will be with us when we head out on tour in October in Europe."
Recorded at Wales' legendary Rockfield Studios in August 2022, the follow-up to 2021's 'Endless Arcade' is set to arrive on September 22 via their own label PeMa in the UK and Europe, and Merge in the United States.
The Caledonian quintet will support the LP with UK and European shows in the autumn. They also have Australian and New Zealand dates in the diary for March 2024.
