Album: “If It Was You”

Description

Tegan And Sara: Tegan Quin, Sara Quin. <p>Additional personnel includes: Mike Ledwidge (slide guitar, organ, keyboards); Ezra Cipes (banjo); Gabe Cipes (bass); Rob Chursinoff (drums, percussion). <p>This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. <p>By 2002, twin sisters Tegan & Sara had made a name for themselves with the Lilith Fair crowd by playing acoustic folk-rock that highlighted their voices and their pop-centric song sensibility. Yet IF IT WAS YOU, the follow-up to the duo's popular 2001 debut THIS BUSINESS OF ART, stepped up their game by adding electric elements, tighter songwriting, and an occasionally punky edge. <p>"Time Running," "Monday Monday Monday," and the single "I Hear Noises" illustrate the sisters' knack for creating simple, hook-heavy songs that capture the ear and don't let go. Tegan & Sara benefit from the use of a full band and the sharper production here, both of which create a larger canvas for their songcraft, helping pave the way for their commercial breakthrough with 2004's SO JEALOUS.
