Album review: Tegan and Sara's 'Heartthrob'

There's no through-line to the way Tegan and Sara think about romance on their seventh studio album. Sometimes love heals all wounds; other times it's the wound itself. And occasionally it serves as a mere accessory to more pressing matters, as in the disc's lead single, "Closer." "All I dream of lately," they sing over a throbbing disco-rock groove, "is how to get you underneath me."
