Identical twins Tegan And Sara will release their sixth studio album, "Sainthood," on Oct. 27. The album, produced by Howard Redekopp and Death Cab For Cutie's Chris Walla, is the follow-up to the Canadian band's critically acclaimed 2007 release, "The Con."
The two sisters also plan to release a three-book set that chronicles different time periods from the past year of the band members' lives: the 2008 US national tour, the 2009 Australian tour and a joint writing session in New Orleans for the new album.
The books, titled "
On, In, At," are being released in conjunction with the "
Sainthood" pre-sale via the band's
website.
Tegan And Sara will kick-off the album and book release with four shows: Oct. 25-26, at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles and Oct. 30-31 at New York City's Town Hall. They'll also perform on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien on Nov. 2.
Plans for a full US tour in February 2010 are in the works.
