I’ll really do my best to not have walls and walls of Tegan and Sara posts for the next few weeks. That is however, what happens when The Risen lesbian twins give us a new record that contains the same winning formula that made their last record, The Con, so damn good. Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie, is still on the production decks, members of the Rentals still in the backing band and an urgent need for jolted acoustic pop hooks make Sainthood a compelling release. While the first listen was TWO MEHS down, the 2nd listen was way better and the 3rd was making me happy (TIP: listen to it on real stereo speakers and not your computer’s). It’s something that really makes you appreciate the slow ascension of a band–that kind of gradual artistic and commercial development doesn’t happen too often these days. In any case, the record has many pleasures but I’m presently geeked on the their feature on Tiesto’s new album Kaleidoscope. The song “Feel It in My Bones” has the Quinn sisters front and center of a sensitive electro-dance jam, and I know I should focus on their own merits but I’m a sucker for female-emo harmonies over nuanced synth riffs. Stream and download that song below.
