Tegan and Sara: Album Details, Tour Dates

090825-tegan-sar.jpg

After receiving near unanimous praise for 2007’s The Conincluding four of five stars from SPIN — Tegan and Sara are gearing up for the October 27 release of Sainthood by unveiling the album’s cover art and tracklist, plus the first dates of their fall tour.

In a new website post — a rather tame update from the Canadian duo known for posting lengthy iChat recordings and jokingly calling their mother a lesbian — they reveal titles of the album’s 13 songs, including “The Ocean,” “Hell,” and “On Directing,” and three dates of their supporting tour: October 25 at Los Angeles’ Orpheum Theatre, and October 30 & 31 at New York’s Town Hall. Tickets go on sale Friday, August 28.

The cover art, meanwhile, shows Sara on the left looking serene with Tegan — whose face is cut-and-pasted on a mannequin of sorts — looks, well, pissed off. Check it out below.

A new album isn’t all the sisters have on tap. Tegan and Sara recently added vocals to DJ Tiësto’s “Feel It In My Bones” (listen at Stereogum) off his star-studded release Kaleidoscope, and now they’ve put on their dancing shoes for a video.

No word yet on its release, but judging from photos Sara posted on their website, it seems to be a CGI effects orgy.

Can’t wait for Tegan and Sara’s return? Well, whet your appetite by watching Tegan playing acoustic at SPIN’s inaugural Liner Notes event last fall.
