Cult duo Tegan and Sara have decided to switch gears for their seventh studio album Heartthrob. 17 years since their debut record, the Canadian siblings return to their throne as indie pop royalty with the aid of distinctive melodies, harmonies and lashings of forward-thinking synth. We caught up with the girls as they were touring with The Killers.<\/p>\n

\"Tegan<\/a><\/p>\n

What’s been keeping you occupied since the last record Sainthood?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We worked on a few collaborations with Morgan Page, David Guetta and Theophilus London. We put out a DVD (Get Along) and wrote a new album! It was a total pleasure to take a few years off to focus on projects that allowed us to leave the suitcase under the bed and have a life from home. But we’re back on tour and feeling very excited about touring a new album!<\/p>\n

You’re identical twins so you’ve been a duo since forever. Are there any artistic differences that you have to cope with?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think we compliment each other well. We tend to be total opposites when it comes to certain things but for the most part that works to our advantage. My patience and methodical tendencies probably drive Tegan crazy, but I think its helped set a pace for our output of music and art that is more sustainable. Tegan’s gut instincts and ambition have allowed us to take risks and build our career upward during times where my hesitations could have let us miss out on big opportunities! Being siblings has made us instinctive as both performers and business partners.<\/p>\n
