5/1/2023 0 Comments Tegan and sarah call it off![]() I don’t really like Superstar either and I’m not that huge a fan of the spoken word they used in Are You Ten Years Ago?, but I love the way she uses it here, especially in the bridge. I think the bass line on this track makes the strongest first impression on this album, it’s killer.Įmily: Though the tune is “less emotional” than others, Tegan still successfully breaks my heart: I’d love to find my other, love to find you… Or maybe I’m just single? Sigh.Īlthough Tegan hates Superstar, this track says still continues to enjoy spoken word. ![]() And to be fair my rendition is also a little pitchy. I’ve been singing it out loud, non-stop, and this has attracted a lot of curious and also frustrated stares because it’s not released and so no-one knows it’s an actual song yet. Srsly, she has not shut up about this song.Ĭrystal: This song has been stuck on high rotation in my head for WEEKS. With heavy, metronomic synths pulsating under a hooky verse and even hookier chorus, Don’t Rush makes me want to dance like a crazy person. Don’t Rush Įmily: Don’t Rush is unmistakably Tegan & Sara, yet it wouldn’t have fit any prior albums because it’s definitely a point they’ve grown to. I take my aim, you feel me coming close 2. I feel the breeze, your feathers of an arrow Sometimes I feel like all of Sara’s lyrics are about sex, but very cleverly disguised. I can’t tell if she’s the arrow or the target, can you? She often rocks strange & cryptic lyrics. But I don’t understand the lyrics, I mean sugar spell it out.Įmily: I don’t know what this song is about, but I’d never claim to know what any Tegan & Sara song is about unless they explain it, especially Sara’s. There’s beauty in this track’s simplicity and the switchup to the upbeat chorus keeps things interesting. It was different, and not having a super strong attachment to The Con, I was ready for it to take me somewhere new. But the more I listen to it the further up the favourite list it climbs.Ĭrystal: I was a little nervous when I heard the beginning of this track, but I was also excited. Arrow may be overlooked ’cause of the stronger tracks which follow it. Sara displays her strong vocals a lot on this album and especially on this track. Comfort came when the chorus went back to the usual Tegan & Sara style. To be honest, the first 30 seconds of Arrow scared me – “what the hell is this? Is the whole album like this?”. Arrow Įmily: Tegan & Sara begin Sainthood with a risky track. I know, right? What could it be!īut for now, turn the volume up and GET READY. And there’s still something that’s going to be better than all of these things combined showing up here really soon. Not only am I about to analyse each track in great detail, but you also have an opportunity to win a copy of Sainthood and have your name drawn out of Laneia’s fedora. Seriously though, this is a very exciting time in our lives. Isn’t this great!? If you’re not already jumping at the thought of hearing new Tegan & Sara songs then I’m not sure what else I can do for you. Crystal will be joining me for parts of this conversation because she has some residual feelings from writing the album review, but also because I have an epic Sara bias and someone around here has to be the voice of reason. Hello Autostraddle, this is Intern Emily! If you’re among those eagerly anticipating October 27th’s arrival (or Oct 23 if you live in Australia), the good news is that Tegan & Sara recognize our impatience and have decided to stream the entire Sainthood album on the internet RIGHT NOW! Coincidentally, I’ve prepared a track-by-track breakdown so that as you listen to the album, we can obsess together in the comments section.
