LIGHTSHIPS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM 'ELECTRIC CABLES'

Teenage Fanclub (Domino Publishing) singer, songwriter and bassist, Gerard Love releases a new album on 2nd April 2012 under the moniker 'Lightships'. Love has also collaborated with Domino's own The Pastels (Domino Publishing).   

Deciding that the key to the sound of the record would be tremolo, delay and flute, Glasgow-based friends were brought together to play on the record: Dave McGowan (guitar, Teenage Fanclub), Brendan O'Hare(drums, from the first incarnation of Teenage Fanclub), Tom Crossley (flute,International Airport and The Pastels) and Bob Kildea (bass, Belle & Sebastian).

Electric Cables is an album of tender, observational songs, played with an invigorating and easy sense of purpose; the sound of friends enjoying one another’s company and allowing ideas and experiments to flourish.
