## Summary

Teenage Fanclub have announced their 13th album, ‘Do Not Dare To Dream’, alongside the new single ‘Day In The Sun’. Due on 9 October via Merge, the record is their first since 2023’s ‘Nothing Lasts Forever’ and continues the band’s melodic, harmony-led indie sound while addressing scepticism towards hollow optimism.

The album was written with longtime members Euros Childs, Francis Macdonald and David McGowan, with the group favouring a more immediate studio process. Its ten tracks include ‘Day In The Sun’, a song about renewal, and the band will support the release with a UK and Ireland tour beginning in Cambridge on 3 November and ending in Glasgow on 21 November.
