Jul 28, 2016 By Christopher Roberts Teenage Fanclub

Beloved Scottish veterans Teenage Fanclub are releasing a new album, Here, the band’s tenth full-length, on September 9 via Merge. Previously they had shared Here‘s first single and opening track, “I’m In Love.” Now the song has a video, which you can watch below. The band has also announced some North American tour dates, which are also below.

Donald Milne and Brian Sweeney shot the video, which was filmed in and around Edwyn Collins’ new Clashnarrow Studios in the far northwest of Scotland. The band was there recording some B-sides when the clip was filmed. There’s also footage of them playing football (or soccer if you must) on the beach. It is notable for being the first Teenage Fanclub video to actually include the band since their “Dumb Dumb Dumb” video in 2001.

Teenage Fanclub’s three founding members (Norman Blake, Raymond McGinley, and Gerard Love) each wrote four of the album’s 12 songs. Here was then recorded with the band’s soundman David Henderson, with regular drummer Francis Macdonald and keyboard player Dave McGowan also joining the sessions, which went down in three different locations. It was recorded at Vega in rural Provence, France, and at McGinley’s home studio in Glasgow, Scotland. Then the album was mixed at Clouds Hill in Hamburg, Germany.
