![]() ![]() It was its tenth anniversary and we did more of a multi-media approach. Two years ago we repackaged 'So Jealous'. “I hadn't really thought too much about playing the record. Sara also believes that thanks to the current state of world affairs the anniversary comes at the perfect time and the prospect of playing the songs again is unexpectedly appealing. ![]() “We don't wanna blow our load yet, but we've put together some ideas and we're trying to get them together so we can announce something soon. We're gonna do some special stuff for it this year to honour the record.” While there are specific plans in place as yet 'The Con’s birthday won’t go unmarked by Tegan and Sara. “I think it's a great album and it makes me excited to celebrate it this year. Often acts that stop to reflect upon their career highs with a victory lap put their current creative activities in jeopardy, but for Sara the chance to re-examine the material is a welcome one. She goes on to explain how the duo have come to accept " that there's always gonna be people who are into our older work or who actually hate our older work and love our new work, whatever, but I think that we've decided that ‘The Con’, probably is gonna be that beloved album.”īut why does ‘The Con’ still resonate so much with fans hard-core and fair-weather alike ten years on? “For a lot of people I think it's sort of that cross, that intersection- a lot of people who heard that record were sort of at the beginning of their adulthood, end of adolescence and I think it just impacted at the right time.” I don't want to say that defines them, but a beloved album and you don't really know which album that's gonna be or even if you are gonna get one of those." “I think that every artist wants to have an album. “On one hand I can't believe it's ten years old, on the other hand it feels like it was twenty years ago - I don't know what that means,” says Sara. We caught up with Sara Quin of Canadian alt-rock siblings turned purveyors of unashamed pop pleasure Tegan and Sara as the European leg of their ‘Love You To Death’ tour hit Hamburg, Germany.Īfter more than twenty years together Tegan and Sara understand the importance of continually moving forwards, creatively and sonically, whilst also being respectful of their back catalogue.Ģ017 sees perhaps their most loved album ‘The Con’ turn ten, and Sara is happy to take a trip down memory lane and reflect and reappraise the material, even if some of the memories that album conjures up are less than happy. ![]()
