when you get up and over it and over them
1998 was a big year for twins. Ahhnuld and DeVito taught us about the fraternal kind, and Tegan and Sara started their musical legacy in Calgary, Alberta (that’s in Canada). I’m gonna go with Tegan and Sara for the “Ongoing Relevance Award” on this one. Doubly so, since their new album, Sainthood, drops today and lead single, “Hell,” is better than anything Arnold has done this decade. This jam shows a bit of hardening for the Quin sisters. Their tradition of melodic indie-pop is stomped on with “Hell”s crunching guitars and bouncing lyrics that are perfect for the mosh pit. You might already know I’m a big Tegan & Sara fan, you may not know this is their sixth (!) album AND is being co-released with their photo-book triptych IN/ON/AT. The books document their last American tour (ON), recording in New Orleans (IN), and general band photos/journals/etc (AT). Watch The sisters introduce it here. Anyway, Tegan and Sara are such a band that I just don’t see “Hell” being a fluke-jam on Sainthood. The album is gonna rock for real. Anyway, Sainthood is out today so I won’t have to wait too long to find out, and I bet you wont have to wait too long to get another positive post on it. Don’t wait for it, though. Just get the album. And get So Jealous and The Con if you don’t have them. Your ears (and Canada) will thank you. (Canada most likely in person. They’re cool like that.)
BONUS: Just came out of a cave/coma and don’t know Tegan and Sara? Here is a recap.
