Tegan and Sara recount their unique navigation through sisterhood and the music industry. Once twin sisters fighting over their shared guitar in rural Canada, now chart-topping, award-winning indie rock icons, they reflect on the highs and lows of their relationship and their career. As musicians, they held themselves to the highest standard possible, always looking for ways to control their narrative, their music, and their experience. As sisters, they pushed each other, literally and figuratively, along their remarkable path to success. Featuring eight new recordings from their decade-spanning catalogue—including “Closer”, “Where Does the Good Go”, “Walking with a Ghost”, and “Back in Your Head” — Under My Control is an unvarnished and vulnerable examination of their experiences and the intricacies of their relationship.

About the Creators and Performers

During the course of their seasoned career, Tegan Quin and Sara Quin have sold well over one million records and released numerous studio albums. They have received three Juno Awards, a Grammy nomination, a Governor General’s Performing Arts Award, and the New York Civil Liberties Union Award. Tegan and Sara have performed on some of the world’s biggest stages, from Coachella to the Academy Awards, and are executive producers of the TV series High School, based on their New York Times bestselling memoir of the same name. They are also the authors of Junior High, the first in an upcoming graphic novel series for young readers illustrated by Eisner Award winner Tillie Walden. In 2016, they created the Tegan and Sara Foundation, which fights for health, economic justice, and representation for LGBTQ+ people.

Under feet like theirs

Early in their Words + Music entry Under My Control, Canadian duo Tegan and Sara reflect on how central freedom, experimentation, and ownership have been to their sound from the very start. Wielding that do-it-yourself determination and a fierce dedication to their art, the Quin twins quickly became icons of the indie scene. But along that journey, they conquered anxieties born from their startling catapult onto the main stage and the tensions of touring, maintaining an inventive sense of sonic playfulness at every turn. In this introspective look back at the road so far, the musicians get vulnerable about their evolution (both creatively and in their relationship with one another) and all that’s still to come. (Oh, and their new recording of “Walking with a Ghost”? Nothing short of exquisite.)
