The wait is over! On September 9, Teenage Fanclub return with Here, the band’s first album in six years. Here offers four each by Norman Blake, Gerard Love and Raymond McGinley. Blake’s “I’m In Love” kicked off the album, and now Love’s “Thin Air” brings us more inimitable harmonies and a soaring chorus. Listen to “Thin Air” below.

Not for one second is Here the sound of procrastination or headscratching. It’s the work of a band entirely confident in their own craft—the consolidation of nearly three decades of songwriting and almost telepathic musicianship.

In stores on September 9, Here is available for pre-order on CD and limited-edition clear vinyl now in the Merge store, or from your favorite digital outlet. Also in the Merge store is the option to bundle the album with an exclusive Teenage Fanclub t-shirt that will ship immediately, ahead of the record’s September release.
