Review

The title Man-Made runs the risk of messing with diehards' notion of what Teenage Fanclub is all about--melodic, classic-era indie pop a la Badfinger and Big Star--but concerns that the Scottish four-piece has swerved from its organic sensibility in favor of something souped-up and synthetic are unfounded. Back in the studio for the band's seventh disc (and its first recorded in the U.S., with Tortoise's John McEntire producing) are the trio of gifted songwriters and instrumentalists that have supplied this outfit with a surplus of talent since it formed in 1990. Norman Blake, Gerard Love, and Raymond McGinley each contribute four songs; parsing who wrote what, as usual, makes for the perfect rock-geek parlor game: is the straightforward, jaunty "It's All in My Mind" (Blake) stronger than the harder-rocking, riffy "Time Stops" (Love) or the earnest "Feel" (McGinley)? In the end the correct answer is who cares: Teenage Fanclub is back. Their vibe continues to be timeless, accessible, and as satisfyingly cool as it's ever been. -Tammy La GorceTheir first studio album since 2000's "Howdy". A classic Fanclub record in every sense, with more songs of wisdom, change, and love. In tone and arrangement, the record handsomely demonstrates the less-is-more maxim, being both airier and lighter of touch than its predecessors. Magazine "Uncut" gives it 4 stars out of 5, noting, "MAN-MADE is full of texture and shade, a record of constantly unfolding pleasures....[They] remain the perfect assimilation of West Coast craft and old-school indie-guile."
