About this listen

Tegan and Sara recount their unique navigation through sisterhood and the music industry. Once twin sisters fighting over their shared guitar in rural Canada, now chart-topping, award-winning indie rock icons, they reflect on the highs and lows of their relationship and their career. As musicians, they held themselves to the highest standard possible, always looking for ways to control their narrative, their music, and their experience. As sisters, they pushed each other, literally and figuratively, along their remarkable path to success. Featuring eight new recordings from their decade-spanning catalogue—including “Closer”, “Where Does the Good Go”, “Walking with a Ghost”, and “Back in Your Head” — Under My Control is an unvarnished and vulnerable examination of their experiences and the intricacies of their relationship.

I Wish It Was Longer

I'm very pleased that they seem more vulnerable than they have been in a decade, especially Sara. I thoroughly loved it and wish there was more to listen to!

absolutely beautiful

What an honest, intimate, and thoughtful reflection of their career. The reimagining of the songs is beautiful! I’ve been a fan for 20+ years, grateful for Tegan and Sara’s stories, such a great retrospective.

Interesting to hear them talk about their lives

I have been a fan for about 20 years and it was cool to hear how they have grown. And the cool versions of some of their songs???? I wish I could find them online/streaming!

Fantastic reimagining of songs from different eras

I really enjoyed hearing the songs they selected to re-work for this audible original. That alone made it worth the purchase, but the story telling was also great. I’ve been a fan since 2007, just before The Con came out. I was surprised I learned quite a few things about the earlier years of their music career. These two have been through an amazing journey.

Love and respect

I have always loved everything T&S have put out especially their interviews. The way they speak so honestly and with such candid grace I never get tired of listening to them. I wish this was a bit longer! I love how at peace they sound. Sara especially. I heard things I didn’t know about them and loved every second of it.

This will draw you in

I love these two women. They are brilliant, charming, and genuine. They have a compelling story that makes you want to root for them. Their music is wonderful and their voices are umami for the ears. Give this a listen. You won’t regret it.

Band of Sisters

I love Tegan and Sara as a band, as sisters, as individuals. Under My Control again demonstrates Tegan and Sara’s commitment to each other and their willingness to be open and honest about their relationship as a band but more importantly as sisters. I enjoyed the new versions of their songs. And, I truly enjoyed listening to them together talk about their history, their influence and the endless possibilities for their future.
