Vapor/Sire, 2007
Any critic worth his salt should never admit this...but I was ready to dislike Tegan and Saras's new disc before I even opened the case. At their worst, the girl-folk always come off like bland chick-folk with some token techno beats thrown in to reel in the hipper-than-average. If you read us regularly, you know twee indie pop always has a place here, but these gals just seemed a little too Indigo Girls and not enough Rilo Kiley to hook me in. But after giving The Con a handful of spins, I'm happy to concede that it holds more than its share of modest pleasures.
This time around, many tracks show the Quin sisters employing the sharp production skills of Chris Wala (Death Cab for Cutie) to craft a sound closer to 1980s power pop than Lilith Fair rock. The title track wizzes and whirls with fuzzy synth keyboards and an irresistible melody while single "Back in Your Head" is one of those oh-so-simple pop tunes that has you bouncing around the room in spite of yourself. The Con has its share of filler, but the perfect pop bounce of "Burn Your Life Down" had me forgiving Tegan and Sara every time.
Very useful article for me, there is more information I have is very important. Thank you! I'm glad you could get out of it to share with us.
