Canadian super twins Tegan and Sara just dropped their seventh studio album, Heartthrob, on Tuesday. It’s definitely a departure from the rest of their indie folk-rock oeuvre, and it’s being met with universally positive reviews. With good reason: it’s irresistibly fun, incredibly luscious, and filled with enough of their eerily beautiful harmonies to keep even the most diehard fans happy. (Probably.)
It’s all new-wave synth and drum machines, almost every track insists the listener gets up and dance on her bed. “Closer”, the single released late last year (video above) sounds like if Human League and Robyn had really groovy twins. I mean this in the best way possible, but it sounds like an 80s song created for a movie shot in 2010.
