Tegan and Sara and You

The Con Canadian singer-songwriters Tegan and Sara (MySpace) are coming to the Electric Factory tonight, and in honor of that occasion, we wanted to let you know we think they're cool, and that it's totally not just because they're lesbian identical twins. In fact, we didn't even know they were lesbian identical twins until we read their Wikipedia page. No, we like Tegan and Sara because we've been listening to their most recent album, 2007's The Con, a lot recently, and it's just really, really good. Seriously, there's not a bad track on this thing. We do have particular favorites: the title track, the creepy "Knife Going In," "Back in Your Head," "Burn Your Life Down," and "Nineteen." Sure, it's indie pop. But it's catchy, beautiful indie pop, with powerful vocals, clever lyrics, great beats, and lovely melodies. And it's certainly worth a trip to the Electric Factory tonight.
