We’re exploring, even within the song, what kind of songwriters we are, what kind of singers we are, what we wanted to talk about. Good, higher-end demos because we actually did them with producers and proper engineers in a studio, but I think we were still discovering ourselves, and “Superstar” is a prime example of that. We were so young for both those records - Under Feet Like Ours and This Business Of Art - that they feel more like demos, really. It’s not like I even think that I think it’s good or bad. I listened to it recently because I had talked about it with somebody and wanted to see if it was as bad as I remember it, and it wasn’t. TEGAN QUIN: I wrote this song right after we graduated high school. Take it as a quasi-oral history of a band that has made it through two decades and is still putting out vital and constantly evolving music. To celebrate their eighth album and reflect on their storied career, we sat down for a long, winding talk that charted their stylistic progression by looking at specific songs, from their early days through to their most recent album. Love You To Death continues this gradual transformation, marrying their fresh new bombastic ’80s pop sound with the emotional exactitude of their earlier work. While the sonic departure of Heartthrob may have come as a surprise to some, the truth is that Tegan And Sara have been flirting with inorganic sounds and conventional pop structures since their inception. While the Canadian duo scored their first mainstream hit only three years ago with “ Closer,” they’ve been a formative influence throughout my entire life, shaping my identity and what I learned to value in music. Tegan And Sara changed my life, or at least that’s what I dramatically wrote when I did a deep dive into the group’s discography two years ago.
