Under My Control: Words + Music, Vol. 38

by Tegan Quin, Sara Quin

Tegan and Sara recount their unique navigation through sisterhood and the music industry. Once twin sisters fighting over their shared guitar in rural Canada, now chart-topping, award-winning indie rock icons, they reflect on the highs and lows of their relationship and their career. As musicians, they held themselves to the highest standard possible, always looking for ways to control their narrative, their music, and their experience. As sisters, they pushed each other, literally and figuratively, along their remarkable path to success. Featuring eight new recordings from their decade-spanning catalogue—including “Closer”, “Where Does the Good Go”, “Walking with a Ghost”, and “Back in Your Head” — Under My Control is an unvarnished and vulnerable examination of their experiences and the intricacies of their relationship.

[Alex Shrugged · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked this because the music samples were good. I liked them and the authors were real. They weren't just self-promoting although there is always a little of that or they wouldn't be doing this audiobook in the first place.

I'd be glad to listen to this audiobook again.
