Album artwork for Heartthrob by Tegan and Sara

featuring production from greg kurstin and justin meldal-johnsen, 'heartthrob' also offers the first album in which tegan and sara co-wrote much of the material together (in the past, each twin would usually write songs independently of the other). for all the superficial differences, though, 'heartthrob' bears the true hallmarks of a tegan and sara record. the songs are terrific, full of lust and longing and regret, bouncing between the familiar poles of erotic rapture ('closer') and post-breakup despondency ('how come you don't want me'). but the lyrics seem less confessional than usual, a little more universal and philosophical, as if tegan and sara are reflecting on the experience of passion rather than undergoing its ecstasies and torments in real time.
