Now that I'm back from vacation I can share with everyone the new albums that need purchasing.
1) The Con by Tegan and Sara
This is the best album of their career thus far. These Canadian twins have grown in popularity with their previous release, So Jealous, and all eyes were on them before the album dropped. With the help of Death Cab For Cutie's Chris Walla, the girls have made an album seeped in emotional angst. It's not unlike a soap opera and that's a good thing. Note to self, don't piss off these girls because they'll write a song about it.
2) What is Free to a Good Home by Emily Haines
This companion EP to Knives Don't Have Your Back is in the same down-tempo tone, but since there are only six songs, it hits harder. Named after her father's poem, Haines exhibits her own poetry and puts one of his to music. The EP is simply beautiful and further solidifies Haine's range and capability.
3)Sticking Fingers into Sockets by Los Campesinos!
I know, I know this band isn't Canadian, but it's on Canada's most popular indie label, Arts & Crafts. This EP is six songs of pure fun and pop delight. I dare you not to dance during We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives.
