Tegan and Sara's tenth studio album, Crybaby, marks a triumphant return to form for the Canadian indie pop duo. Released on 21 October 2022 via Mom + Pop Music, this highly anticipated album is their first full-length studio release since 2019's Hey, I'm Just Like You. Produced by John Congleton, Sara Quin, and Tegan Quin, Crybaby is a masterfully crafted collection of songs that capture the tumultuous times of the pandemic, as well as the duo's personal struggles and triumphs.
Recorded in Seattle and Los Angeles in Fall 2021, Crybaby is an intimate and deeply personal album that showcases Tegan and Sara's signature sound, while also exploring new sonic landscapes. The album's 12 tracks, including 'I Can't Grow Up' and 'Whatever That Was', demonstrate the duo's ability to craft infectious, indie-pop anthems that are both deeply relatable and universally appealing.
With Crybaby, Tegan and Sara prove that they are still one of the most innovative and exciting duos in the music industry. After a half-decade of revisiting their past, including a 10th-anniversary tour of their alt-pop classic The Con and a memoir of their adolescent years, Tegan and Sara are back with a renewed sense of purpose and creativity. Crybaby is a testament to their enduring talent and their ability to create music that is both deeply personal and broadly appealing.
