#sojealous

I have seen @teganandsara play on the 24th June three times. 2005, 2008 and 2010. I am very sad not to be at NYC Pride today and that the shows in 2016 were 22nd and 23rd June! #teganandsara #sojealous #thecon #theconx #theconxtour #sainthood

We did 3 weeks of rehearsals in Vancouver before making So Jealous. We both had a bit of a meltdown trying to turn our demos into full band arrangements. Mostly because we knew exactly what we wanted to hear, but it took months for the sound in our heads to make it onto tape.

Looking back, So Jealous is when we really started to lean into pop—we added keyboards, we smoothed out our production, we set our sights on becoming a bigger band. But we kept enough rough edges and attitude to make it our own. Plus, we cut mullets. How popular did we really want to be?

The release of So Jealous transformed our lives, and we’re forever thankful for that. We’re so grateful for all of you who’ve been around since then. 15 years later that record still finds new ears which shocks and delights us. Thank you for loving So Jealous, and us.
