Sometimes in music you lose perspective. That new band that got a few daytime Radio 1 plays who you're desperate to see at a festival and so rush to arrive super early actually end up playing to 20 people, their parents included. The producer who only has 200 followers on Twitter who you casually stroll up late to the venue to catch has already pulled such a crowd that it's one-in-one-out. We live in a bubble. An absolutely massive queue - ranging from teenage girls to middle-aged couples - shouldn't come as a surprise for a Tegan [...]
From their beginnings as two young teens playing angst-tinged indie rock way back in the mid ‘90s, Canadian twins Tegan and Sara have, remarkably across seven albums, become unlikely pop stars. With each release they’ve progressively grown their fan-base and achieved greater mainstream success without selling-out; they’ve also managed to adeptly tread the tightrope of evolving their sound – sometimes in starkly new territory – while still endearing themselves to their original fans. This is in no way a small feat. And, it’s this laudable success that [...]

From The Crypt Sessions: We could barely contain our excitement when Canadian alt-pop duo, Tegan & Sara dropped into the studio recently whilst touring the UK. Performing three tracks, their bold, catchy pop choruses charmed us here at The Crypt and we're delighted to share the first installment with you. Today (June 10) the sisters release their single, "I Was A Fool" through Vapor/Warner Bros Records, to coincide with their upcoming tour. The single follows their critically acclaimed album, [...]

Once again, I feel obliged to mention what a spectacular year 2013 has been for music. Some of my very favorite bands have released records and I've found some new loves as well. This was the hardest list for me to narrow down, personally. It existed at eleven songs until about two days ago when I forced myself to make the cut. These lists are gathered from songs that had lyrics that cut straight to the bone ( And now I'm running til my legs pull tight / and I've never cried so hard in my [...]
Pete Lawrie aka Until The Ribbon Breaks from the UK has released a great batch of work in the past 3 months, starting with his remixes for Of Monsters & Men , Tegan & Sara & Laura Mvula which are all great stand out tracks on their own. The single for his forthcoming LP "Pressure" is a beautiful song that really shows off his style, check out the music video below which shows footage from David Lynch's Lost Highway. Recently he's been featured in BURNS track [...]
Brooklyn’s quiet achievers YEASAYER have just put out a rendition of the latest Crystal Fighters single “You & I” with their psychedelic touch creating a remix almost unrecognisable. The bustling rhythms and optimistic vibes of the original tune evolve into slow choppy beats and the sing-a-long chorus is replaced by abstract dark vocals. In come swirling loops, hip-hop drums and tons of electronics. Underneath this all lies twinkling synth and a pulsing bass line enriched with the signature Yeasayer hazy sound. It’s not often that the [...]
Tegan and Sara have announced that Lights will open up for them on their upcoming shows on the East Coast of Canada. Dates can be found below. July 29 / St. John’s / Mile 1 July 30 / Halifax / Metro July 31 / Moncton / Casino NB

"Girlsongs" is an incredible cover album by the Austin based group SPEAK. This four man group from Texas does an a capella version of six popular songs originally performed by female singers. The tracks feature lyrics from artists like Alicia Keys, Fiona Apple, Charli XCX, and Tegan and Sara, and each song has a unique [...]
You may or may not be aware, but RAC has put out a handful of new gems recently. Capital Cities, Bastille, Yacht, and Phoenix are all on the list of fresh remixes, in addition to this buoyant rework of Steel Train . Our affinity for a RAC and Steel Train team-up goes back a ways, June 5th 2010 to be exact, when RAC uploaded a truly brilliant remix of Steel Train's Turnpike Ghost covered by the wonderful duo of Tegan & Sara. Since that sweet melody entered our ears we were hooked, and immediately [...]
"A friendship between college girls is grander and more dramatic than any romance..." This is especially true if the friendship has a great soundtrack. Thankfully, Girls does. HBO's hit dramedy Girls just recently finished up its second season trying to live up to all of the hype built up by its hugely successful debut. The season definitely had a darker feel; it dealt with some mental health and alcoholism issues. But, being as Judd Apatow is the show's executive producer, you knew there had to be some hilarity - specifically with instances like Hannah's home-done haircut, trash dumping, [...]
Tegan & Sara have really impressed us with their new album Heartthrob . It packs the punch with its heartbroken lyrics. Not only that, but they have gone for a softer sound and it worked real well. This is pretty much one of the best songs on the album, with the exception of "Now I'm All Messed Up."

Sibling pop duo, Tegan and Sara, released their 7th studio album Heartthrob earlier this year, and it is an early favorite of ours. "Closer" has got to be one of the catchiest songs of the year. I don't underst and why it hasn't caught on and exploded the way "Call Me Maybe" did last year.
