There are few better pop craftsmen than Teenage Fanclub. Their harmonies and bright riffs have been causing smiles around the globe for over a quarter century now and a new album is always welcome. Their latest, Here, is the first since 2010 and showcases a band who hasn’t lost a bit of their edge or talent. I spoke with Normal Blake by phone on what happened to be the day after Brexit for a great conversation on both music and politics.
