The title mocks those memes urging people to \"dare to dream\" — Blake finds them \"kind of ridiculous... I don't think the world works that way.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band's 13th album is full of calmly resolute songs, taking stock of the fraught state of the world without succumbing to despair. Blake's warm, organ-washed \"Day In The Sun\" and McGinley's \"Over And Over\" both speak to renewed purpose by opening hearts. \"We can still be cheerful and optimistic in the face of things not being great,\" McGinley reflects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecorded at Black Bay Studio on the Scottish island of Great Bernera, the sessions captured something timeless. Surrounded by crashing seas and ancient ruins, the band was inspired by the Callanish Stones and the area's Neolithic monuments — all things that \"make you feel small, but in a good way.\" As McGinley says: \"Life is short, but music is eternal.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merge Records","offers":[{"title":"Opaque Orange Vinyl LP","offer_id":54882078916876,"sku":"MRG892LP-C1","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":54882078949644,"sku":"MRG892LP","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4459\/3932\/files\/TeenageFanclub-DoNotDareToDream_05e72fbe-f2aa-4ebe-a17f-308677e9e944.jpg?v=1785103587","url":"https:\/\/12-bar.com\/products\/teenage-fanclub-do-not-dare-to-dream","provider":"12 Bar Music and Social","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
