Tegan And Sara Premiere New Song “Closer”, New Album Due January 2013

Tegan And Sara have premiered a brand new song called ‘Closer’ at their official web site, TeganAndSara.com. The track is from the Quin sisters’ follow-up album to their 2009 release ‘Sainthood’. The new album is due out January 2013.

“Sara calls ‘Closer’ my ‘let’s get it on’ track,” Tegan explained in an interview with Rolling Stone. “And although I do imagine that this would be an okay song to make out to, all I intended was to write something sweet that reminded the listener of a time before sex, complicated relationships, drama and heart break. In short, I was writing about my youth. A time when we got ‘Closer’ by linking arms and walking down our school hallway or talked all night on the telephone about every thought or experience we’d ever had. It wasn’t necessarily even about hooking up or admitting your feelings back then. In fact THAT rarely happened. It was the anticipation of something MAYBE happening that was truly exciting and satisfying. We were perpetually getting ‘Closer’, yet we rarely got physical with one another, if ever. These relationships existed in a state of sexual and physical ambiguity. Is there anything more romantic than that?”

The duo’s album has Tegan and Sara working with Greg Kurstin, Mike Elizondo and Justin Meldal-Johnsen. During the new album’s creation, Tegan and Sara presented an inside look at the recording process with their Carpool Confessional weekly video show. The series was filmed from the back of Tegan and Sara’s car and featured several guests and collaborators.

In addition to a handful of headlining shows and a performance at Austin City Limits, Tegan and Sara have some massive tours coming up with the likes of The Black Keys and The Killers. A full list of tour dates is below the cut.
