Tegan and Sara have once again starred the clichéd break up album in the face and won.

It is not often you find yourself bopping along to a song with lyrics ‘stop crying to the ocean/stop crying over me’.

Yet that’s the brilliance of this duo. Not only can they create music that reaches a wide audience, they do it in a way that doesn’t compromise their song writing.

Produced by Death Cab for Cutie guitarist Chris Walla, Sainthood is a clever mixture of quirky tunes, awash with industrial and electronica beats.

It is easily the duo’s strongest work to date.

Three and a half stars
