Explorations: Is This Music?


Original video located here. Accessed 2nd August 2018

Song title: Is This Music?

Artist: Teenage Fanclub

Year: 1991

Why I like this song:

So I decided to explore some Teenage Fanclub.

I wonder how this band will be remembered: They may not have enjoyed major chart success but what they delivered did reach a decent audience and reaped critical acclaim. And listening to this album, Bandwagonesque, now, it certainly strikes me as being the epitome of early nineties guitar pop - the kind you would hear play in some teen movie. The guitar work is great all around and the harmonies work wonders. 

And, as is often the case, they leave the best moment for last: A glorious instrumental that, like any good instrumental, invites the listener to draw their own conclusions. Don't mind if I do.
