The Con - Tegan & Sara
I have always known of Tegan and Sara - kinda impossible to be a lesbian and not know about them - but I had never really listened to them. The other week I found a CD second hand for a couple quid and decided to give it a go
This
album came out in 2007 and you can really hear it. It's the muted,
sad-girl, bedroom indie pop we all need more of I think. My favourite
track on it is probably "Are you ten years ago" which centres on the
younger versions of ourselves and how time is not quite linear -
everything is happening all the time. "nineteen" is SUCH a good song, so emo indie rock.
I think it has such a nice sound without the overly cheesy pop-girl vibes generally associated with the time and I would really recommend. It's very dancey, quite acoustic but with a solid beat. There's no songs I feel like skipping and I listen to it start to end every time. it makes me want to pick up piano again and record a cover
(honestly I kind of envy the way they looked when this came out lol :p - i did attach a picture but it doesn't seem to want to display :|)

As probably the biggest T&S fan on SpaceHey, I can confirm this album fucking rules. I think the generally consensus is that it's their best, though I'll always bat for Sainthood and Love You To Death.

Hi! My sisters used to listen to Tegan and Sara all the time when I was younger (around 2010 so I was about 5-6) and so I kinda grew up listening to their albums over time! I'm glad that there is someone on here who also likes their music :) I definitely recommend Sainthood and So Jealous (if you haven't listened to them yet)
thankyu! i haven't listened to any of their other stuff yet so thanks for the recs :p

No worries! I was also gonna mention that after the album Sainthood came out, their other albums have more of a pop sound to them (they are still really good though!) Just putting it out there cause I know a lot of fans like the more alternative rock albums better :)
