Tegan and Sara Sign to Mom + Pop, Share Video for New Single

    Tegan and Sara have signed to Mom + Pop, marking the announcement with a new single titled ‘Fucking Up What Matters’. The track was co-produced with John Congleton and will appear on the band’s forthcoming tenth album. It arrives alongside an accompanying video directed by Tony Wolski and starring High School stars Railey and Seazynn Gilliland. Check it out below.

    “‘Fucking Up What Matters’ felt like an ode to the moment in your life when you realize that you have most, if not all of the things you wanted and you start to think about what would happen if you just walked away from it all,” Tegan and Sara said of the song in a statement. “It’s the moment in the middle of the night when you start to daydream about something else, something you never imagined. It’s the feeling you have when you think you might have hit a new low, and yet you’ve never felt so good. Sometimes it’s admitting that you can’t stop yourself from fucking up what matters, that you feel your strongest. And as my mom would say, it’s often when we’re fucking up what matters, that we’re learning the most about ourselves.”

    Commenting on their new label home, they added: “Michael Goldstone signed us to Sire/Warner in 2006. We had just made The Con and felt like the vision Goldie and the team at Sire had for us and the album were a good fit. But soon after he signed us, he left to start Mom + Pop. We never held it against him. But joked that one day we’d work together for real. So it was with great enthusiasm that we agreed to sign to Mom + Pop when our deal with Warner ended in 2021. We look forward to being back at an indie label, on a brilliant roster, with Goldie and the label’s incredible team helping us start this next chapter in our lives with the release of our 10th album.”
