Made this mini collage with old magazines (most of them rescued from the recycling bin in the art room). It's one of the lines from Tegan and Sara's "closer", and the tv part is inspired by their "closer" music video. Cutting out the letters individually was time consuming but I like how this turned out and I already have ideas for the next Tegan and Sara song inspired collage!

I'm probably going to a Tegan and Sara concert this summer, but I'm not too familiar with most of their work so I want to listen to all the albums. I was wondering if maybe you had an album or some songs in particular that you'd recommend as a starting point?

Ooooh I love this question!

Okay so to start off, I would recommend checking out The Con and So Jealous—I’d consider these two to be the golden age of Tegan and Sara, they’re the albums that a lot of their most popular hits come from, and a lot of big fans tend to list these as the albums that first got them hooked.

Then I would listen to Crybaby, since it’s their most recent album and they’re playing quite a few of these songs on this tour.

From there I would go to Hey I’m Just Like You, Heartthrob, Love You To Death, and Sainthood.

The albums I would leave for last are If It Was You, This Business Of Art, and Under Feet Like Ours. They’re from the very early years of Tegan and Sara, and while they’re beloved by many die-hard fans, they’re not quite as palatable to newer listeners and they don’t tend to play many of them live.

Lastly, If you want to speed run this whole process or get a little taste of each era before doing a full listen-through, I made this playlist a while ago to send to all of my friends who ask me this same question ;)

Enjoy!

"Closer" and "Year 3000"

Two to go in the #FearOfMu21c project, part of an effort to crowdsource the greatest singles of the 21st century. Here’s an index post.

Closer - Tegan & Sara

No space for the Indigo Girls on #FearOfMu21c, for the simple reason they didn't release many singles at all this century. Instead, we look to the north, where Tegan and Sara Quin are everyone's heartthrobs.

The lead single from "Heartthrob", "Closer" confirmed the duo's transition from folksy-singer-songwriters into a sleek disco machine. A late-70s synth riff announces the song, it cuts through clutter on the dancefloor and on the radio.

And then we're into a dreamlike space, playful and energetic and with a wistful romance. Tegan said, "I intended to write something sweet that reminded the listener of a time before sex, complicated relationships, drama and heartbreak. I was writing about my youth -- a time when we got closer by linking arms and walking down our school hallway, or talked all night on the telephone about every thought or experience we'd ever had."

Some would describe it as a song about, um, more physical intimacy, with the unsubtle couplet "All you think of lately is getting underneath me / All I’m dreaming lately is how to get you underneath me". Tegan acknowledges the thought, "I do imagine that this would be an okay song to make out to". Tegan's the lead writer on the song, finished by twin sister Sara and their producer Greg Kurstin.

"Closer" travels with great precision, locked into its target. It tells us about the small moments to make affairs of the heart both so specific and so universal. It won the Juno award as Single of the Year for 2013. Tegan and Sara continue to make awesome music, and a memoir, and tv show "High School" with a lesbian-not-particularly-binary queer overtext; their one hit over here is from The Lego Movie, "Everything is AWESOME!"

Year 3000 - Busted

A projection of the future, one of the great singalong songs from the start of the century. "Year 3000" put Busted on the map, proved they were more than one-hit wonders.

We can't dissect the song too deeply. Songwriters Matt, Charlie, and James with producer Steve Robson were inspired by "Back to the Future" and "Under the Sea with Willy Fog", by the group's anticipated seventh album, and the long-lasting celebrity of Michael Jackson. Ah well, two out of three ain't bad.

"Year 3000" is completely disposable pop, and it's wormed its way into everyone's heads. Boy bands, and another one, and another, and another one.
