Shadows was their 9th studio album from 2010 on their own PeMa label or their 8th "proper" album if you exclude The King. It succeeded 2005's Man-Made and preceded the aforementioned Here.
12 songs - four each by Gerry Love, Norman Blake and Raymond McGinley with Norman's Baby Lee being released as a single.
It was reasonably well received with the Guardian saying that it delivers what one expects:gentle ,bittersweet guitar pop, which harks back to the 60's without descending into pastiche.Well if it ain't broke ...
AllMusic describes the songs as sun-drenched and relaxed (no bad thing) PopMatters feel it is an album where the sound of the grown-up Teenage Fanclub comes to full fruition. It’s joyful, but also very thoughtful, carefree and yet aware of its surroundings.
A song each then from the three main protagonists - Sometimes I Don't Need to Believe in Anything from Gerry, the single mentioned above from Norman and Raymond's Tomorrow Never Ends.
Nothing more from The Fannies for a bit - promise - although I have still to upgrade my burn of Man-Made and I've just noticed that I've yet to feature Howdy!
