Tegan & Sara are well on their way to stardom. Though their music at first listen can easily be written off theme music for another show like The O.C., there are some great tunes that are radio friendly, but also musically unbelievable. With the help of Death Cab For Cutie’s second-in-command Chris Walla, the twin sisters create some great music with even better lyrics (that most anyone can relate, no matter their gender). There’s love, longing, angst; everything one needs for a great indie rock album. Check out tracks 3 “The Con”, track 4 “Knife Going In”, track 6 “Back In You Head”, track 9 “Burn Your Life Down”, and track 14 “Call It Off”.VARIOUS ARTISTS
