Song of the Day: Teenage Fanclub – Back To The Light

Posted on by Paul in Albums, Song of the Day | Leave a comment

Today sees the release of Teenage Fanclub‘s latest, Nothing Lasts Forever, an album that deals with themes of mortality, darkness and light, and the changing of seasons.

Based on some of the album’s lyrics and subject matter (or for that matter, the title of the album itself), one might suspect that the members of Teenage Fanclub were feeling a bit down during the period when they were writing the songs for this album, and while it does have its moments of melancholy, the overall tone is generally a hopeful one, as evidenced by tunes like “Back To The Light.”

Nothing Lasts Forever is out now via Merge Records. Check out the video for “Back To The Light” below.

Harp is the new project from former Midlake singer Tim Smith and his wife Kathi Zung. And so it’s not too much of a surprise that Smith’s new project is reminiscent of his previous band, with lead single “I Am The Seed” giving off some definite Midlake vibes, albeit with a dark, moody undercurrent running through it.

Harp’s debut album Albion will be released December 1 via Bella Union. Check out the video for “I Am The Seed” below.
