The Things I Carry: Tegan and Sara

February 07, 2013



We always like to know what some of our favorite artists carry in their purses (and man-purses)—the essential items that they need for touring or subway rides, the Grammys or any other thing that they might be doing these days, which is why we’ve made it a regular column on the site.

This week, Tegan and Sara's seventh album, Hearthrob, debuted at #3 on the Billboard charts, the Canadian duo's highest U.S. position to date, and it reached #1 on Billboard's rock charts, a first. It was a late-career risk, but their full-on embrace of electro-pop paid off. Now, they're on a huge tour, leading through the summer, when they'll open for fun. But before all that, they need to pack their bags. Check out what they carry, and for more, read our interview with both sisters about Spanx, living on opposite coasts and their new, more electronic sound.
