Seems strange that this release coincides with the untimely passing of Alex Chilton, but after five years of quiet Big Star-aficionados Teenage Fanclub have a new album out on Merge June 8. The Scottish blokes have been generous enough to release the new track in advance for free.The new song titled Baby Lee is typical Teenage Fanclub using their great vocal harmonies under a 70's radio ready acoustic strum. The song evokes a relaxing and loving warmth as the lead vocals hopefully inquire the title character to marry him. Although the lyrics are insistent, his tone is confident as you can picture him smiling as he sings like the song itself is a proposal. There is no drama here regarding her answer as the strings swell, foreshadowing a beautiful outdoor wedding. It's cute. Enjoy.
