That’s right, Tegan and Sara are back with their ninth studio album titled ‘Hey, I’m Just Like You’.
The album has been slated for a September 27th release date and will accompany the duo’s first memoir.
The memoir in question, ‘High School’ will be released on September 24th.
Everyone’s favourite Canadian twins took to Instagram and their website to detail the story behind their ninth project.
On the platforms they wrote:

“It had been over twenty years since we had heard the songs and quite honestly, we both expected to listen once, cringe, and bury them for another couple decades. But they were good. Like, really good. They were raw, and in some cases, the lyrics were hard to decipher.
“But the melodies, the honesty in the words, and the joy listening to them after all these years was undeniable.
“We decided immediately that those songs were the demos we’d use to build the new Tegan and Sara record.”
It seems that Tegan and Sara are taking a more intimate and raw approach on this new album.
Regardless, we are wholly excited for anything that the duo decide to bless us with.
Finishing their story behind the album, the band wrote:
“Stay tuned for new music shortly, as well as tour dates, videos, and special-pre-order packages. We think you’re going to love the new record. Dare we go so far as to prophesize; it might be your new favorite?”
And we dare say that they may just be right. Looks like we’ll just have to wait for September to dive into the new project.
