Music Appreciation
Tegan and Sara Quin, identical twin sisters from Calgary, Alberta, formed their indie pop duo in 1998. Initially performing under the name "Plunk," they gained early recognition after winning Calgary’s Garage Warz competition.
Their 2007 album The Con marked a pivotal moment, propelling them into broader recognition. Known for their introspective songwriting and advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights, Tegan and Sara have built a dedicated fanbase over the years.
"Back in Your Head," released on July 24, 2007, as the lead single from The Con, was written by Sara Quin. The song explores themes of emotional distance and the longing for deeper connection within a relationship.
Its composition features a blend of indie pop and new wave elements, characterized by a repetitive piano riff and layered harmonies. The production, handled by Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie, complements the song's introspective lyrics.
The music video for "Back in Your Head," directed by Jamie Travis, presents a surreal and symbolic narrative. It features Tegan and Sara performing in front of an audience dressed in white, with intermittent appearances of figures in black, creating a stark visual contrast. This imagery symbolizes the internal conflict and emotional duality expressed in the song's lyrics. The video's minimalist aesthetic and use of color serve to underscore the themes of isolation and the desire for emotional reconnection.
