"Love You to Death" is the ninth studio album by the Canadian indie pop duo Tegan and Sara, released on June 3, 2016, under Warner Records. Clocking in at just over 31 minutes, this album is a concise yet powerful collection of tracks that showcase the sisters' signature blend of catchy melodies and introspective lyrics.
The album opens with "That Girl," a pulsating track that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Throughout the album, Tegan and Sara explore themes of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. "Faint of Heart" and "Boyfriend" delve into the complexities of modern relationships, while "Dying to Know" and "Stop Desire" offer raw and honest reflections on personal struggles.
Musically, "Love You to Death" is a departure from the duo's previous folk-influenced sound, embracing a more synth-driven, pop-oriented style. Tracks like "White Knuckles" and "100x" feature driving beats and soaring hooks, while "BWU" and "U-turn" showcase the duo's knack for crafting infectious, radio-ready melodies.
The album closes with "Hang on to the Night," a poignant and uplifting anthem that serves as a reminder of the power of resilience and hope. "Love You to Death" is a testament to Tegan and Sara's growth as artists and their ability to evolve while staying true to their unique sound.
