Tegan and Sara
Walking With A Ghost

Smart-Casual

WE SAY

Canadian sister duo Tegan and Sara have enjoyed a healthy career in the US and Canada without ever making much noise in the UK. So Jealous, the 2004 album from which this is taken was critically rated too, making Rolling Stone's Top 50 of that year. The White Stripes also released a cover of this track on a 2005 EP. Walking With A Ghost has now been licensed in the UK from Sanctuary and distributed through Vital for a one-off release on new label start-up Smart-Casual. It's co-run by Soccer AM's Tim Lovejoy and the track has been getting played on the show for the last month. Tegan and Sara are currently working on their fifth studio album with Chris Walla (Death Cab, The Postal Service). An interesting act who deserve greater presence, this track definitely is worthy of another airing. JF
