HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US! It’s not just our birthday today, it’s also the day we get to announce that we have a new song—our first since 2022—coming out September 25th! “Our Year” features our friends and fellow Canadians Lights and Felix Cartal. The four of us are all West Coast-based, and the inspiration for the song came from our messy relationship with this beautiful city we call home, this beautiful part of the world we…
I’m sure most of you are like, what on earth is going on? Why are Tegan and Sara promoting a Christmas book? It’s September. Has someone kidnapped our favourite lesbian elves and are forcing them to do Christmas Content? NOPE!!! I wrote a book called Merry Christmess. It's out today! It pulls heavily from Sara’s and my childhood, and from my incredibly intense and enduring passion for Christmas. It’s a chapter book aimed at 8–12-year-olds…
Wrapped up Canada Reads yesterday—Day 4. I was in the hot seat defending the book I believe all Canadians should read: The Cure for Drowning by Loghan Paylor The last four days have been such a trip. I’ve loved this process and feel so proud we have a show like Canada Reads in Canada. The other panelists Steve, Morgann, Elle-Máijá, and Josh, were incredible—true champions of their books. And all of their books were fantastic.…
I’m thrilled to be championing The Cure for Drowning by Loghan Paylor for this year’s Canada Reads. Sara did Canada Reads back in 2011, and she championed Essex County by Jeff Lemire. She spoke so highly about the experience, and I’ve been looking forward to my turn ever since. As far back as I can remember, I’ve loved reading. It’s honestly one of my favourite things to do. Crawling into bed with a book feels like…
Twenty years ago Sara played me a song called Walking With A Ghost. We were on tour in Europe. I couldn’t believe she had written it, but it was also the sound of the recording, her instrumentation, the vibe of the whole thing that shattered me. It was clear Sara had uncovered something, some new creative avenue, a direction for our band I hadn’t even realized we were in need of. I felt panicked.…

This tour is going to be like nothing we have ever done. We’ll be solo (can we still call it “solo” if there are two of us?). We’ll be playing acoustic (mostly). We’ll be reading from our memoir High School, and performing songs from the new album Hey, I’m Just Like You. And we’ll be playing a collection of songs from our older records (don’t worry!). We’ve pulled our favorite moments from all the old…
The new Tegan and Sara album Hey I'm Just Like You, Out September 27. Pre-order now at teganandsara.lnk.to/HeyImJustLikeYou Last year while writing our new memoir, we came across two cassette tapes with dozens of songs we wrote in high school. Defiant and melodramatic, the songs captured the exultation and grief of first loves, first losses, ecstatic kiss-offs, and psychedelic tributes to the friendships we had as teenagers. It had been over twenty years…
