Under the Radar Magazine: The Solution to Music Pollution.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
For our new feature Track-by-Track we go in-depth with an artist about each song on their new album. This week we are featuring Tegan and Sara’s Heartthrob and each day this week we’ll post commentary by Tegan Quin on two of the album’s songs. Heartthrob, the seventh studio album from Tegan and Sara, comes out next week, on January 29th. For their newest record, the twin sisters (Tegan and Sara Quin) sent demos to a variety of producers as a way of choosing which ones they would collaborate with on the album. Based on their reactions to the songs, Tegan and Sara narrowed the selection down to producers Greg Kurstin, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, and Mike Elizondo, and the resulting Heartthrob is easily their slickest, poppiest record yet. In advance of its release, Tegan Quin walked Under the Radar through all 10 tracks of the new album with a full behind-the-scenes commentary on each song’s approach, inspiration, and production techniques. This is the fifth and final post in the series. (via Track-by-Track: Tegan and Sara’s Heartthrob Part Five-Tegan Quin on “Now I’m All Messed Up” and “Shock to Your System.” | Under The Radar)
When Tegan Quin spoke to Under the Radar about this then-untitled record in early 2012, she expressed feelings that it could be a door-opening album for the band. “I feel like we’ve hit on something that’s going to allow people to connect to it and get into it,” she said. “Just like Ace of Base.” (via Tegan and Sara: Heartthrob | Under The Radar)
The wait is over. Out January 29, Tegan and Sara’s newest album Heartthrob is available for streaming now via Rolling Stone. (via Listen: Tegan and Sara – “Heartthrob” | Under The Radar)

A little bit about the sign itself.
I still can’t believe I actually have it. It’s hard to imagine it’s the same sign from such a monumental magazine issue.
A few close-ups reveal finger prints on the back of the sign and erased pencil markings on the front where paint missed the letters that were drawn. On one side of the sign there’s a couple finger imprints where it looks like someone squeezed the sign too hard.
All of these things are not imperfections though, obviously. They’re part of what make the sign so special!
Happy birthday Tegan and Sara. Our Protest Issue cover artists turn 32 today.
Classic Interview:
Tegan and Sara Quin are sitting together in the artists lounge at Warner Bros. Records in Burbank when they’re pitched a fantasy film premise: It’s the year 1999, and the fledgling recording artists have self-released their first album of acoustic guitar-driven songs as Sara and Tegan. An envoy from the year 2009 has traveled through time to bring the Calgary natives an artifact from the future, a Tegan and Sara CD consisting of taut punk-electro-pop tracks titled Sainthood. How do the 19-year-old sisters react? (via Tegan and Sara: Their Excellent Adventure | Under The Radar)
