Tegan and Sara have announced a new studio album called 'Crybaby'.
Co-produced with John Congleton at studios in Seattle and Los Angeles, the record serves as the follow-up to 2019's 'Hey, I’m Just Like You', though back in February the Canadian duo reissued their 2004 LP, 'So Jealous', complete with acoustic re-recordings of each song from the original.
It'll arrive on October 21 via Mom+Pop Music, and marks their first full-length since signing to the New York indie label.
"This was the first time where, while we were still drafting our demos, we were thinking about how the songs were going to work together," Tegan said. "It wasn’t even just that Sara was making lyric changes or reorganizing the parts to my songs, it was that she was also saying to me, 'This song is going to be faster,' or 'It’s going to be in a different key.' But Sara effectively improves everything of mine that she works on." Sara added, "Maybe I am the renovator. I'm the house-flipper of the Tegan and Sara band."
To accompany the news, they've shared the heartfelt, dream-pop single Yellow, which comes with a Mark Myers-directed video inspired by the clip for Coldplay's 2000 single of the same name. It follows the previously unveiled cut Fucking Up What Matters. Commenting on the new song, Sara said:
"[Yellow] was written after we began to take steps to heal the bruises we have both carried with us since adolescence and early adulthood – wounds that never quite healed right and flare up seasonally, sending us spiralling backward in time. Are we doomed to remain forever 15, breaking up and breaking apart? I hope not.
"[The video] was shot in Vancouver, a city that didn’t feel big enough to hold us both when we arrived here the first time. Twenty-two years later, we're back, calling it home."
Tegan and Sara will support the release with an intimate North American headline tour in October and November. Singer-songwriter Tomberlin will open all dates, with tickets on general sale at 10am local time on July 15.
