Just got the new Tegan and Sara CD Sainthood. I have been listening to it on repeat for 2 days straight. All of the songs are great. There is a definite progression in their music from album to album. It seems to follow a logical path from acoustic folksy rock to a more produced pop/rock electronic sound. The most appealing part of Tegan and Sara to me is their chemistry and personality. When I first heard of them (through listening and learning about Kaki King) I did not like their sound. It was too poppy. But then I saw them perform live on youtube and fell in love with them as people. I realized that they are true musicians and that their songs may sound like pop songs, but they are very serious and full of meaning. They are a true credit to the indie music scene.
