Tegan and Sara have announced they will release a ‘The Con’ covers album.
The new version will celebrate the record’s tenth birthday, with proceeds going to The Tegan And Sara Foundation.
“We are very excited to announce ‘The Con X: Covers’, a new album featuring 14 of our favorite artists covering all 14 songs from the original album,” Sara explains.
“When I hear another band or artist cover one of our songs it can be indescribable and pleasantly disorienting – creating hope where there was originally hopelessness or joy where there was only ever regret.
“A pop song can become a claustrophobic ballad, or an anguished confession might be transformed into a euphoric mantra. In some ways hearing someone else interpret something so familiar is a way to finally be freed from the personal history of the song and to hear it for the first time.”
‘The Con X: Covers’ will be released on 13th October, with a list of artists taking part on the way.
