Artist News Releases
Tegan & Sara announce new album, Crybaby
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 14 July 2022
Tegan & Sara have announced that they will release their tenth studio album, ‘Crybaby’, this autumn. They’ve also released the first single from it, ‘Yellow’. Not a cover of the Coldplay song, but its video does pay homage to that track.
Speaking about the creation of the album, which was produced by John Congleton, Tegan says: “This was the first time where, while we were still drafting our demos, we were thinking about how the songs were going to work together. It wasn’t even just that Sara was making lyric changes or reorganising the parts to my songs, it was that she was also saying to me, ‘This song is going to be faster’, or ‘It’s going to be in a different key’”.
Of the new single, Sara says: “[’Yellow’] was written after we began to take steps to heal the bruises we have both carried with us since adolescence and early adulthood – wounds that never quite healed right and flare up seasonally, sending us spiralling backward in time. Are we doomed to remain forever fifteen, breaking up and breaking apart? I hope not. [The video] was shot in Vancouver, a city that didn’t feel big enough to hold us both when we arrived here the first time. [But] 22 years later, we’re back, calling it home”.
In addition to the new album, a TV adaptation of the twins’ 2019 memoir ‘High School’, is in the works. Being made for Amazon’s IMDb streaming service, the show is set to star TikTok twins Railey and Seazynn Gilliland.
‘Crybaby’ will be released on 21 Oct – their first under a new deal with Mom+Pop Music. Watch the video for ‘Yellow’ here:
