And they guided us gently but really didn't tell us to rewrite all the songs."īeing in control of their music is important to the sisters, Quin said. "They just listened to us and let us do what we wanted. The trio had produced Tegan & Sara's last album. The twins knew what kind of sound they wanted and rehired John Collins, David Carswell and Howard Redekopp (of the New Pornographers) to help produce the album. "We even went so far as to arrange some of the percussion." "We had about 40 songs we had written and winded up using 14 for the album," she said. While Quin said the band is a full-fledged band - featuring drummer Rob Chursinoff and bassist Chris Carlson - she and her sister are the sole songwriters. "Then when we decided to go into the studio with the band, Sara moved closer to me for three months and we did the album with the band." But we would send the songs to each other through our computer and work on them that way. "If we lived in the United States, it would be like one of us would be living in New York and the other would be living in Los Angeles. "Sara and I live very far apart," the Canadian native said. And Quin said it was quite a project to make.
Their new album, "So Jealous," is the group's fourth. "And we want to make our albums different than the ones that came before." "We just want to make music," Tegan Quin said. Still, all that is stuff the Quin twins face every day. "We blurted out 'Tegan and Sara' without thinking about it." "We had to come up with a name when someone asked us what our band was called," she said. Likewise, Quin said the name of the band is Tegan & Sara only because they couldn't think of a good name on the spot. "It just happened that we were named those names." "We get that question at least once a week," Tegan Quin said during a phone call from Alberta, Canada. Let it be known that the parents of Tegan and Sara Quin did not name their daughters after the good doctor's companions.
