Abandoning the guitars for synthesizers, Canadian sisters edited this new board in late January, but fortunately we can hear the third advancement.

What about the rest of the album? Only time will tell.

In "I Was a Fool", we meet again with synthesizers as protagonists, starting slowly with an arpeggio digitized and delay. Do not miss anything before hearing epic choruses and could not be otherwise, a good vibe where we have more ochentosa Cindy Lauper echoes that of the "old" music of these girls.

In an interview with Glamour, the sisters revealed that Canadians were listening to everything from Britney Spears to Alicia Keys. They also revealed what's behind this sudden change in the direction of sound. In the words of Tegan,

Sara and I started playing in 1995 when we were still in high school, and now we have 32. Our sound evolved from something acoustic, organic, keyboards and that sort of thing you hear on the radio, but pop music we grew up with, from Cindy Lauper to The Police. These disks were expensive and exciting.

Since we are on Cindy Lauper, last month the twins did a cover of "Time After Time" for a special session that is priceless. He also came up with a great cover of "Fool to Cry" by The Rolling Stones, which is included in the soundtrack of the second season of Girls. It's something that keep us entertained while we wait for the release of this new album.

We may not have talked much about the guys Foxygen. But we are attentive to the news of the band because it's a group that we are very interested, and not just us, the NME named them as one of the bands that you have to be careful this year -. Fortunately, we did not wait long to try a new sample of their work. Now available in streaming through Pitchfork 's new album this duo from Los Angeles, called We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace and Magic.

With influences ranging from the psychedelic bands of the '60s and the avant-garde, Foxygen was formed in 2005, while its two members, Jonathan Rado and Sam France, were two high school kids "obsessed" with Brian Jonestown Massacre. Between 2007 and 2011, they released their first EPs, to be discovered by producer Richard Swift. With this luxury collaborator, recorded a new EP they released last year, and earned them a lot of buzz around music. Take the Kids Off Broadway were allowed to sign with Jagjaguwar, the same label that Bon Iver and Sharon Van Etten, among others, who are editing this first full-length Foxygen.

This time, the group reunites with Swift, who, in case you did not know, is a popular American singer who is also engaged in the production (worked with The Mynabirds for his spectacular 2010 disc, and Laetitia Sadier on The Trip). We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic is a collection of nine songs that strengthens the band's style, a modernized psychedelia and refreshing.

In October last year we heard the first single from the group, called "Shuggie" which served as an excellent calling card for the band. We're really putting a lot of chips on the board by Foxygen, and so we could listen in streaming, with only one listening and we're pretty hooked. We will have to pay close attention to this group, and hope that you take a tour around the world - yes yes, including Latin America.

Reminder that you can listen We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace and Magic at Pitchfork , but not to lose the opportunity, here it is one of his songs, "Shuggie".
