I’ve been seriously girl-crushing on Canadian singing duo Tegan and Sara ever since listening to “I Won’t Be Left” on repeat after a bad breakup. Ever since then, these girls have been the soundtrack to my love life, and their fifth album, The Con is the perfect addition.
The Quin twins, who established themselves as key players on the indie scene with their last album, So Jealous, are all grown up on this record.
The musicians blossom musically and lyrically on this record, their best so far in my opinion. The sisters’ distinctive harmonies are better and smoother than ever, letting you sink into their words.
Their lyrics are on-point as always, introspective and poetic in a way that feels like they’ve been reading your diary.
Give a listen to “Back in Your Head,” a relatable, simple song that, fittingly, will be stuck in your head, and “Are You Ten Years Ago,” which boasts a quirky beat with a techno quality that’ll surprise you if you’re a true blue Tegan and Sara fan.
The brilliance of this album is not immediate, so give it a listen twice before making up your mind.
You’ll be mouthing the words along to your iPod in no time.
