Tegan and Sara have been writing songs alongside each other for as long as they can remember. Some of the lyrics they came up with during their high school years will make their way to the duo’s next album.
The indie-pop group will drop their new record Hey, I’m Just Like You on September 27th, three days after the publication of their memoir High School. They discovered many songs from their teen years while working on this book, and decided they deserve a spot on their next album.
“While working on our memoir, we discovered lost cassette tapes that had been unheard for over 20 years. They contained dozens of our first songs, written between the ages of 15 and 17. We immediately recognized the songs as an essential part of our high school story,” said Tegan and Sara in a press release.
The Canadian duo also revealed they made a couple of minor tweaks to lyrics and structure of their old songs but tried to remain true to their original essence. We can’t wait to take a walk down memory lane by their side when Hey, I’m Just Like You comes out this fall.
