‘The Con’

The latest electro-folk offering from these Canadian twins is somehow cuter, catchier, and more heartache-y than their last disc, So Jealous, thanks in part to co-producer Chris Walla (Death Cab for Cutie), who sprinkled in irresistible synthesizer hooks. We’re addicted to the title track for its eighties-megaballad sound and over-the-top emo chorus—“I really like to cry.” The duo’s upcoming local shows instantaneously sold out, so get your ticket to their November gig at Webster Hall, uh, right now!
