Description
On August 5, Merge will reissue Teenage Fanclubs Man-Made and Shadows, two critically acclaimed albums never before available on LP in the US. These reissues continue our year-long 25th anniversary series of re-releasing classic albums from our back catalogue each month throughout 2014.
The band reveals how the recording process differed from the previous album: Compared with Man-Made, this is a softer isolation, surrounded by fields and emptiness, and the live room at the studio, a converted barn, is filled with our equipment all micd up and ready to go. This set-up is how we approached the three records leading up to Man-Made, and we feel it suits us: a residential country location, close enough to drive but with sufficient distance from home to concentrate our minds on the job at hand.
Both albums illustrate what SPIN magazine wrote of Teenage Fanclub: Proof that youth is a state of mind you need never outgrow.
Man-Made and Shadows will be released on 180-gram vinyl, and each LP will include a download of the album plus two bonus tracks.
