Constantly changing, constantly growing, and growing stronger character, that’s the post punk duo, Tegan and Sara. Quin twins family Canadian-born 19 September 1980 was again showing their strength in SAINTHOOD, their sixth studio album. Usually, Tegan and Sara write their own songs and the one who wrote the song is the one who must sing, while the other plays the guitar or keyboard. But miracle happens in SAINTHOOD in which they write songs together.

What is the result? Strength! After two years ago they spawned the album THE CON that made their names really famous, Tegan and Sara return with SAINTHOOD fresh and not repeat the same concept. Arrow, the opening track, is suitably used as a gate that shows both the energy of this twin sister. Though its themes are still revolves around the relationship with others, SAINTHOOD offers the best lyrics and the work of the brightest they have ever written. In addition to intelligent lyrics that they create together, Tegan and Sara’s music was really developed.

From broken sounds of synthesizer and the pattern of a strong bass to piano pop groove, Tegan and Sara’s music actually sounds mature. Each song sounded so confident. Moreover, they also assisted by the Alkaline Trio and Death Cab for Cutie front man’s, Chris Walla, who is also a producer in album SAINTHOOD.

Tegan and Sara were closing their albums with the same strong spirit. Sentimental Tune, a crisp pop track that brought us into a climax with a guitar that fits the crib while Someday shows the internal struggle that always faced by the Quin sisters. And they have summarized the message you want to be expressed through SAINTHOOD: self-confidence, fear, rejection and self-confidence. Through SAINTHOOD, Tegan and Sara prove that they can provide tracks for less than three minutes with lyrics full of depth and substance.
