Tegan and Sara announce 10th album with new cut "Yellow"
Tegan and Sara have shared news of their upcoming 10th album Crybaby, and have also released new single "Yellow" to accompany the announcement.
"Yellow" lands with a Mark Myers-directed video that pays homage to Coldplay's single of the same name, and is the second track to be lifted from Tegan and Sara's new album after April's "Fucking Up What Matters".
Sara Quin says the new song "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 spiraling backward in time. Are we doomed to remain forever 15, breaking up and breaking apart? I hope not."
Crybaby will follow Tegan and Sara's 2019 album Hey, I'm Just Like You. It was recorded at Seattle's Studio Litho and LA's Sargent Recorders, and was produced by Tegan and Sara with John Congleton.
Tegan Quin 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 reorganizing 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.’ But Sara effectively improves everything of mine that she works on."
Sara Quin adds, "Maybe I am the renovator. I’m the house-flipper of the Tegan and Sara band."
