***Man-Made*** is the eighth studio album by [Scottish](/source/Scottish_people) [alternative rock](/source/Alternative_rock) band [Teenage Fanclub](/source/Teenage_Fanclub), released on 9 May 2005.[3][4] It was released on the band's own PeMa label in Europe and on [Merge Records](/source/Merge_Records) in North America.

## Recording

Guitarist [Norman Blake](/source/Norman_Blake_(Scottish_musician)) said, "We'd liked what [John McEntire](/source/John_McEntire) had done on the [Stereolab](/source/Stereolab) records, so we got in touch with him. He was up for it, and suggested we come to [Chicago](/source/Chicago). We hardly took any equipment, just some guitars and a pair of drumsticks. We even borrowed a guitar from [Jeff Tweedy](/source/Jeff_Tweedy). I'm glad we did, otherwise we'd have been fucked. We'd have had to buy one!"[5] The album was mostly recorded and mixed at McEntire's [Soma Electronic Music Studios](/source/Soma_(studio)), with additional recording and editing at guitarist Raymond McGinley's home studio in [Glasgow](/source/Glasgow), and at Riverside Studios in [Busby](/source/Busby,_East_Renfrewshire) near Glasgow.[6]
