TEENAGE FANCLUB - Endless Arcade LP
Includes d/l code.
This is perhaps the Fanclub’s most introspective couch-bound album, touching on the need and importance for community (even if that is simply a band), home, hope, a bit of anxiety, time and of course the darker bittersweetness of loss.
Some are going to suggest that the music is dense (which it is), guitar driven (which it is) and anthem driven, though perhaps definitions of ‘anthem’ vary. This is unlike any release we've heard from the band, they've turned a corner and for our tastes, struck gold.
That said, Endless Arcade is a very comfortable and welcoming album, rewarding in it’s sonic delivery and satisfying from beginning to end.
