Unlike many identical twins, Canadian folk-rockers Tegan and Sara Quin aren't compelled to do everything together. For fifth full-length studio album "The Con," the first co-produced by Death Cab for Cutie guitarist Christopher Walla, they split songwriting duties and recruit guest players for each track. AFI bassist Hunter Burgan appears exclusively on the seven songs penned by Tegan, including second single "The Con." Alternative radio listeners charmed by the breezy new wave bounce of lead release "Back in Your Head" will find the synth-heavy follow-up more densely layered and urgent. Lyrically, Tegan also ups the angst ante with a tormented and deeply personal attempt to explain herself to a departing lover.—Alexandra Cahill
