The first time I heard Now, Now (formerly Now Now, Every Children) I couldn’t figure out how exactly it was that they reminded me so much of Tegan and Sara. Was it in the guitar riffs? The vocal style? The angtsy subject matter? And then I read the liner notes. Their second full-length, Threads, was produced by the very same Howard Redekopp that has worked with the Quin sisters on releases such as So Jealous, Sainthood, and Get Along. Mystery solved.
Now, Now began in Minneapolis in 2007 and released a couple EPs and their debut full-length on Afternoon Records before hitting the “mainstream” on tour with Hellogoodbye and Jukebox the Ghost in 2011. The same year, they signed with Chris Walla’s Trans Records and have since joined on tours with fun. and The Naked and Famous.
Since I’m sure we’re all well aware of the impressive history and recent fame of twin sister lesbian icons Tegan and Sara, today I hope you’ll have a moment to lend an ear to a group that may well be the Tegan and Sara of 2020. Check out videos for “Thread” and “Dead Oaks” below, both of 2012’s acclaimed sophomore effort Threads.
