Meg & Dia are back together.

Not only that, they released a 10-song album called “Happysad” on Friday. And they’re heading out on tour.

Meg & Dia are sisters Meg and Dia Frampton, who performed and released music together — four albums in fact — prior to Dia auditioning for Season 1 of The Voice.

Dia wound up finishing second, which led to releasing a solo album on Republic Records.

But it also meant her pre-Voice band fell apart and her relationship with her sister grew distant, an experience she chronicled in a 2016 blog post.

But that was the past.

Meg and Dia posted a message on Twitter Friday about their future:

“It’s been … a crazy eight years since our last album. Years where we grew together and years where we grew apart.

“Years of ‘sister’ therapy and sibling rivalry. Years full of feelings of hope, searching, and a shoulder to cry on. Years where we each explored new adventures creatively and professionally.

“But finally we made our way back together. We are so grateful for our connection and bond to each other.

“Our new album “happysad” is a story of our journey apart and then piecing ourselves and our relationship back together.

“It took years to make, literally, and we’re not just talking about the hours spent in the studio.”

As for that upcoming tour, it kicks off Sept. 14 in Salt Lake, Utah, and includes eight shows so far. Head to the new Meg & Dia website for a complete listing.

Here’s the music video for “American Spirit” from the album “Happysad.”

Among the other tracks you’ll want to be sure to check out: “”Lit Match,” “Distraction,” “Boys Can Cry” and the brilliant album-closing “Dear Heart.”
