Tegan & Sara have evolved their biz from music publishing to book publishing. The duo are about to release their first set of books titled `On`, `In` and `At`.
The three book series chronicles “different time periods over a year in our lives,” they say. They will include photos from the 2009 Australian tour.About the books”
`ON` includes writing from Dallas Green (of City and Colour and Alexisonfire), Northern State, An Horse and us. Photographer Lindsey Byrnes also captures the behind the scenes activity on the road. The book allows a glimpse of the imagery and moments that you don’t usually get to see. We wanted to show you the perspective that we as a band sees, even from on stage.
‘IN’ is an in depth look at our trip to New Orleans in November of 2008 to write music together. It was the first time in 14 years that we have attempted this, so it had to be recorded! Photographer Ryan Russell was there with us to capture every moment of the week long session. The book includes transcripts and interviews with Chris Walla of Death Cab For Cutie and other friends that we called and bothered while we were in New Orleans.
‘AT’ explores our last tour in support of The Con which took place in Australia and gives each of the 5 band members the chance to share their experiences through journals and photos. The book also includes more great photos by Lindsey Byrnes.
The books will be available packaged with the new album ‘Sainthood’, due on September 28.
