Let’s talk about Tegan and Sara. In 99 and 00 they had some fanstastic singles, which I like better than their current hit single ‘Walking with a Ghost’. But let’s step back for a sec.
I have friends coming for a visit from Ontario this week, and so we go back to Ontario, to a pair of sisters (just like KITTY! except less noisy, and twins). The thing with ‘Walking with a ghost’ is they do something strange to their voices, and they have quite sweet voices as you can find by listening to samples at the website above, from several years ago. Maybe they didn't like sounding folksy. Their website is a fun wander, AOL has the video there, and Wiki gives you the scoop. The last 2 youtube videos are earlier work. Now you can impress your friends, as a Tegan and Sara expert.

I bought their cd last year in Calgary on a whim and just loved it.

I think they are very experimental and don't give a darn--they try what they want. Independent minded and non-corporate.
