Product Description

Amazon.ca

Signed to Neil Young's Vapor imprint on the strength of a handful of songs, Calgary folk twins Tegan and Sara Quin seemed fast-tracked for pop stardom before their debut album even dropped. The brittle, snappy This Business of Art was produced by Toronto cabaret chameleon Hawksley Workman and sticks tight to the Ani DiFranco agit-folk template. Frantic strumming is paired in three-minute bursts with the duo's half-sung/half-rapped lyrics, while Workman and pal Karl Mohr fill in the blanks. It's a supremely confident big-label debut, but like DiFranco's music, a bit hollow beyond the initial flash of energy. The songwriting is strong but also somewhat underdeveloped and gimmicky, and given the pyrotechnics lurking behind the board, you can't help but wish that Workman had done more to dress up the songs themselves. --Matt Galloway

Product Description

Tegan And Sara are not your average singer-songwriter-guitarist identical twins. 2004's So Jealous was named one of Rolling Stone's 50 best albums of the year. They've played Coachella and Lollapalooza, and toured with The Killers, Hot Hot Heat and Neil Young. Their Walking With A Ghost was covered by the White Stripes. They've performed on Late Night, The Late Show and The Late Late Show. Their new album, The Con, is set to reach even higher, with the New York Times saying it could be one of the best albums of the year. Both Spin and Blender awarded The Con four stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than clean underwear. Well, maybe not that good... Feb 1 2004
By sunshinederry
Format:Audio CD
I say move over all you wishy-washy, lyrically transient, vocally programmed army of female "singer/songwriters." Tegan and Sara are more than just a wrinkle in the fabric of music (or lint in a belly-button), they are more like those huge creases that are left in the shirts ironed by coping husbands when their wives are sick. The only thing better than Tegan and Sara's "This Business of Art" is licking brownie batter off your fingers. But licking brownie batter off your fingers would only rock to its fullest potential if you were listening to Tegan and Sara while doing your best Homer Simpson hoovering impression.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Start for Tegan and Sara Oct 19 2004
By CORIE
Format:Audio CD
This is a awesome original of the 2nd album from the girls. Their simplicity in their lyrics seem to hit home and you can apply at least 1 song to your life right now. They amaze me with their creativity and every day when I put this Cd in my stereo, its like a warm blanket. It has been great seeing them come from under feet like ours to So Jealous, This is a perfect mix inbetween their old and new. Their lyrics captivate you.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Deserves way more than just 5 stars April 27 2004
By OhLourdi
Format:Audio CD
This quite possibly could be the best cd I own. I don't even really know how to describe it, their music can't be compaired to anyone elses. I've had this cd for years now and I'm still not tired of it, which is amazing 'cause I get bored really easily. This cd is perfect. Don't miss out on it! It's amazing beyond words. T&S rock!

Their talent is amazing. I like this CD better than If It Was You. I didn't know what to think about them before I heard them... I was a bit skeptical. Read more

'This Business of Art' is an amazing album. Filled with raw emotion and distinctive acoustic sounds, it's an album that no CD collection is complete without. Read more

Tegan and Sara are the best yet to be discovered band. Hopefully the start of their recent boom in fans won't change them. Read more

Tegan & Sara's 2nd album [but first real release] hits the spot. Their acoustic sound from 'Under Feet Like Ours' has been re-mixed and new songs have been added. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Super cute.... and good music too!
Of course... this CD is reminiscent of Ani DiFranco - as you'd read in any review... but it's more than just an Ani rip-off. Read more
