This is a better new Tegan & Sara album than the new Tegan & Sara album.

I just went to my local record store to buy either the new Ladyhawke or the Kristin Kontrol album. They didn't have either so I bought the Tegan & Sara album instead. I have a feeling I might end up regretting that.

Skip it and move right to this one.

The second album really was terrible. Happy to hear she's back on track with the new one.

yeah, the press release implies things were not good re the time of the second album, hence the whole folk singer blues groove, whereas this is back to the synths, and happy grooves.

Newest album hasn't been reviewed too favourably (57 on metacritic), but I'm finding it a more-than-passable 2016 Sky Ferreira substitute

"the river" and "chills" are essentially the same song though

So this is the bar now, eh?

Following this thread I went back to the first album and found it... average which is a surprise since I really liked it at the time.I guess that's what ageing does to you (or to an album) !
