Excitement.

Amazing lesbian twins (yes, we know 'lesbian' isn't their only redeeming quality, but credit where it's due), Tegan and Sara, are firm favourites here at Shiny & New. Their evocative and melancholic pop has been the soundtrack to many an autumn afternoon or rain-strewn train journey for us and their sixth album, Sainthood, 'hits stores' on October 27th. Apparently, this is the first album they've written TOGETHER... not sure what this'll mean for the music, but we hope it's good. The tracklisting is as follows:

1. "Arrow"
2. "Don't Rush"
3. "Hell"
4. "On Directing"
5. "Red Belt"
6. "The Cure"
7. "Northshore"
8. "Night Watch"
9. "Alligator"
10. "Paperback Head"
11. "The Ocean"
12. "Sentimental Tune"
13. "Someday"

Intrigue abounds.
