Kai Reiner – Kai Reiner

As the wait between Teenage Fanclub albums gets longer each time around, the need to find something else to scratch that particular itch gets stronger accordingly. Gone through The Pernice Brothers back catalogue? Dug out the Primary 5 albums? Well this eponymous offering from Kai Reiner should tide you over nicely until the next Fanclub album arrives in early 2010.

Reiner, who lives in Hamburg, claims his music was transformed overnight when his brother dragged him along to a Brian Wilson concert and while this doesn’t sound like the Beach Boys, there’s more than enough chiming guitars and hazy vocals to give the album a summery feel.
