1995 LP from Scotland’s Teenage Fanclub! The melancholy-backed power pop of Grand Prix stands out from many similarly minded projects of the era, and that is due to the cohesiveness of the album. Check out “Sparky’s Dream,” “Mellow Doubt,” “Neil Jung,” and “About You”—superb song writing, aching melodies, and sad lyrics, but the listening to Grand Prix somehow ends up being uplifting, and that feeling is what keeps the 13-tracker together. A memorable body of work from the ’90s, this is the 180g reissue.
