Tegan And Sara - Back In Your Head
"Back in Your Head" is a song by the Canadian indie band Tegan and Sara from their 2007 album The Con. It was released as a single in the same year. It was written by Sara Quin. Tegan and Sara recorded the song in early 2007 as they were producing the rest of their album. For this song, Sara Quin played guitar, piano and vocals. Christopher Walla played guitars, the keyboard, the organ and shakers. Ted Gowans also played the guitars and the keyboard, Jason McGerr played the drums and Matt Sharp played bass. The song is recorded using a tuning slightly over half a quarter tone sharp (approximately 30 cents) of the standard A440. The song, along with "The Con", "Nineteen", and "Dark Come Soon", (all from The Con) were performed acoustically on the podcast The Interface in 2007.

Tegan and Sara Bio
Tegan and Sara Quin were born September 19, 1980 in Calgary, Alberta. They began playing guitar and writing songs at age 15. They initially played as Plunk without a drummer or bass player. In 1997, they used their school’s recording studio to record two demo albums: Who's in Your Band? and Play Day. In 1998, they won Calgary's Garage Warz competition, using the studio time they won to record their first professional demo, Yellow tape, which was followed by Orange tape and Redtape.Two songs from Red tape appeared on their first album, Under Feet Like Ours, which they released independently in 1999 under the name "Sara and Tegan". They changed their name to "Tegan and Sara" because it was easier to pronounce and later reprinted the album using that name. Neil Young's manager signed them to Young's Vapor Records label, and they released This Business of Art through Vapor in 2000. They have toured extensively since then.
In 2002, the band released If It Was You. Their fourth album, So Jealous, was released in 2004 and led to wider success. This album was released through both Vapor and Sanctuary. One track on the album, "Walking with a Ghost", was covered by The White Stripes, who released it on their Walking with a Ghost EP.
Their 2007 album The Con was released by Vapor and Sire because Sanctuary chose to no longer release new music in the United States. The album was co-produced by Chris Walla. Jason McGerr of Death Cab for Cutie, Matt Sharp of The Rentals and previously Weezer, Hunter Burgan of AFI, and Kaki King all appear on the album.
On October 27, 2009, Tegan and Sara released their sixth album Sainthood, produced by Chris Walla and Howard Redekopp, as well as a three-volume book set titled ON, IN, AT, which is a collection of stories, essays, journals, and photos of the band on tour in America in the fall of 2008, writing together in New Orleans, and touring Australia. The photographs in the book are by Lindsey Byrnes and Ryan Russell. While recording Sainthood, Tegan and Sara spent a week writing songs together in New Orleans. The song "Paperback Head" appeared on the album, making it the first song on any Tegan and Sara album that they wrote together. Spin magazine gave Sainthood four out of five stars and wrote, "Tegan and Sara's music may no longer be the stuff of teens, but its strength remains in how much it feels like two people talking."
