“Closer” by Tegan and Sara – The Song of the Week for 10/8/2012

“Closer” by Tegan and Sara is the 1st single off the band’s 7th studio album Heartthrob, due in January 2012 via Vapor, Warner Bros., and Sire records

Genre: Indie Rock, New Wave, Indie Pop

I’m not necessarily a huge fan of Tegan and Sara but I have followed them over the years and own a few albums (So Jealous and The Con being my favorites). They are back with this 80’s inspired lead single off their upcoming 7th studio album. Hard to believe they have already racked up 7 albums! I am really curious what direction the album goes in – will it have an 80’s sound like this song? Express your expectations on the new album and thoughts on lead single “Closer” below in the comments section.

“All I want to get is a little bit closer
All I want to know is, can you come a little closer?
Here comes the breath before we get a little bit closer
Here comes the rush before we touch, come a little closer”
