Their 13th album, *Do Not Dare to Dream*, recorded on the remote Scottish island of Great Barnella, has been released.\n\n“It’s truly heartening to see a band that’s been active in the Scottish indie rock scene for so many years maintain such a consistent approach (this group includes Dinosaur Jr., Yo La Tengo, Built to Spill, and fellow Scots Belle \u0026amp; Sebastian, among others). It seems that, even with the passage of time, some things can not only maintain their quality but even improve.”—Stereogum “The simple joy of writing songs and sharing them remains the driving force behind indie pop veterans Teenage Fanclub.”—PopMatters “A timeless pop classic…”—Uncut\n\n● Teenage Fanclub, one of the longest-loved bands in the indie rock scene, is releasing their new album, *Do Not Dare To Dream*, on Merge Records. This 13th studio album follows their critically acclaimed 2023 release, *Nothing Lasts Forever*.\nNorman Blake and Raymond McGinley have remained the band’s core members for nearly 40 years, and on *Do Not Dare to Dream*, they have further refined their signature sound of melodic guitars, warm harmonies, and introspective songwriting. “Coming up with an album title… is quite a challenge. Especially after you’ve made 12 of them,” says Blake. Taken from the track “I Do Not Dare To Dream”—a title Blake chose with a touch of irony—the album gently challenges hollow optimism while maintaining a perspective filled with quiet hope. “The whole idea of ‘the courage to dream’ seems kind of ridiculous to me. I don’t think the world works that way,” Blake explains. Instead, much like its predecessor, *NothingLastsForever*, this album is rooted in resilience—re-examining an uncertain world without succumbing to despair, and finding clarity and solace in the moments of everyday life. Throughout *Do Not Dare to Dream*, Teenage Fanclub masterfully blends introspective lyrics with rich, layered arrangements shaped by decades of collaboration. The songs unfold with a natural lightness, utilizing acoustic textures, organ tones, and intertwining guitars to create a warm and immersive atmosphere. “Even when things aren’t going well, we can remain cheerful and optimistic,” McGinley says of the album’s worldview.\n(1\/2)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.There Was You\u003cbr\u003e2.Tomorrow People\u003cbr\u003e3.Over And Over\u003cbr\u003e4.Be With You Tonight\u003cbr\u003e5.The Same Air\u003cbr\u003e6.I Do Not Dare To Dream\u003cbr\u003e7.Take Time\u003cbr\u003e8.Day In The Sun\u003cbr\u003e9.Somewhere To Land\u003cbr\u003e10.Young And Wise\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merge Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419067932961,"sku":"673855089201","price":6590.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/673855089201.jpg?v=1788220098","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/673855089201","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
