biography / july 08

The Con is the fifth album that the twins have released as "Tegan and Sara." Born (at the same time, give or take eight minutes) they were raised in Calgary, Alberta, Canada…where they met up with Chris Walla (Death Cab for Cutie), and arranged to record with him at his studio in January 2007.

Tegan and Sara focus on keeping the songs as close to the demos as possible:

"After a month we're finished tracking most of the guitars, keyboards and vocals. We bring in Jason Mcgerr from Death Cab for Cutie. He plays drums and passes along life lessons. Hunter from AFI plays bass on Tegan's songs, and Matt Sharp of the rentals plays bass on mine.

We film everything, we develop segments and we gather endless footage. We build a set in our basement and every night for two months we record in-person interviews and speaker phone conversations with our friends and family."
