Today, Tegan and Sara announced their latest album called Crybaby with a new single titled "Yellow." Unfortunately, it is not a cover of Coldplay's 2000 hit but instead a punchy, bruised pop song that comes with a video that does pay homage to the Coldplay ballad of the same name.
The new single “was written after we began to take steps to heal the bruises we have both carried with us since adolescence and early adulthood—wounds that never quite healed right and flare up seasonally, sending us spiraling backward in time," Sara Quin said. "Are we doomed to remain forever 15, breaking up and breaking apart? I hope not.” She added that the video “was shot in Vancouver, a city that didn’t feel big enough to hold us both when we arrived here the first time. Twenty-two years later, we’re back, calling it home.”
Crybaby is out October 21 via Mom + Pop Music. Watch the video directed by Mark Myers below (who did it better?), and pre-order the record here.
