Sainthood by Tegan and Sara : CD released on 10/27/2009

Tegan and Sara's sixth studio album - Sainthood - addresses secular themes of devotion, deception and exemplary behavior in the search for love andrelationships. Inspired by the emotional desire and expect quiet actions can be noticed with the objects of our affection, holiness is the obsession with romantic ideals.

In the service of relationships that practice to be perfect. We practice our holiness in the hope that they will be rewarded with the adoration. As we are forced to become anything to anyone else, sometimes they become martyrs for our cause.

Love, like faith, can never be considered in the hands of an individual. But a great love story - especially one that is not reciprocated or early termination - can be woven as scripture or story. And so the themes of saints are united by this simple title, borrowed, with great respect, the letter of the Leonard Cohen song "Came So Far For Beauty."

With Pavement's Mark Ibold joining on bass, and producer John Agnello back at the controls, "The Eternal" takes the melodic songwriting of 2006's "Rather Ripped" and slams down the accelerator pedal.
