Tegan and Sara - The Con

The latest album from Tegan and Sara, The Con, seems like a disappointment initially, especially after their previous, instantly gratifying release, So Jealous. However, upon listening to it a few times over, it becomes clear that this album is the kind that causes increased appreciation with every listen. With a more melancholy sound, this set of songs introduces a new, mature side of the sisters. Popular favorites, including the title track, The Con and Back in Your Head will draw listeners in, but hidden gems like Relief Next to Me, Are You Ten Years Ago, Hop a Plane and Call it Off will keep them. Overall, expect to enjoy their signature indie pop hooks but look forward to a more stylistic and developed feel. Also, be sure to give the album time to sink in; it is bound to surprise.
