Bandwagonesque, the band's tenth studio album, was released in 2018, finding the band in peak form. It marked a return to the major label fold with Sony Music, but retained the pristine power-pop songwriting that has defined their career.
- The album was produced by Teenage Fanclub, continuing their tradition of self-production. It was recorded at Shaken Street, their own studio in Glasgow. "I'm in Love," the lead single, received significant airplay on BBC 6 Music.
- Bandwagonesque was Teenage Fanclub's first album released on Sony Music since their early work in the 1990s. The album was met with critical acclaim, with many praising its melodic strength and mature songwriting. It reached number 25 on the UK Albums Chart.
- The album's title is a deliberate play on words, referencing the term "bandwagon" and the band's own perceived tendency to be ahead of trends rather than following them. It features guest vocals from(["Norman Blake", "Raymond McGinley", "Gerard Love", "Dave"]), with each taking lead on different tracks. The record showcases the band's signature blend of loud guitars and sweet melodies, a sound honed over decades.
