Canadian twins Tegan and Sara Quinn introduced themselves in the late-’90s as a young folk-pop duo for the Lilith Fair crowd before embracing the guiltier pleasures of rock and New Wave on their 2004 breakthrough album So Jealous. Even better was their 2007 follow-up The Con, which they recorded with Death Cab For Cutie’s Chris Walla and Matt Sharp of Weezer and The Rentals. They reunited with Walla for their latest record, Sainthood, a more stripped-down effort that takes The Con’s emotionally charged power-pop in tenser, darker directions.
