Product Description
Following their most critically-acclaimed albums to date -- SPIN called Never Hear the End of It "the best British Invasion best-of you've never heard," and Pitchfork called Parallel Play "almost flawless" -- Canadian pop iconoclasts Sloan are ready to celebrate. Their recent albums would be reason enough but 2011 marks the twentieth anniversary of the band, and how better to honor such an occasion than a brand new album prolific with power pop gems? Sloan delivers just that with their 10th album The Double Cross, a titular shout-out to the band's 20th (or XX) anniversary. The album kicks off as awesome as universal healthcare with "Follow the Leader" and the sure-fire sync license riffage of "Unkind." In addition to releasing one of their best albums to date, the band will be celebrating all year long with special shows, an exclusive one-of-a-kind album artwork series and much more. So raise your glasses to Jay, Patrick, Chris, Andrew and 20 years of Sloan. Here's to 20 more!

01 Follow The Leader
02 The Answer Was You
03 Unkind
04 Shadow Of Love
05 She’s Slowin' Down Again
06 Green Gardens, Cold Montreal
07 It’s Plain To See
08 Your Daddy Will Do
09 I’ve Gotta Know
10 Beverley Terrace
11 Traces
12 Laying So Low

Hello Sloan fans,

Sorry to have been so quiet over the last few months but the band has been hard at work on our tenth studio album, The Double Cross. It will be available May 10th from Yep Roc Records, distributed by the Outside Music Label in Canada.

Jay wanted to share this insight on the album with you:

I think every band always says of their latest LP "it's our best yet!" or perhaps "it's our greatest work since Exile On Main St.", and then you hear it and you say to yourself, 'hmm, well, not quite, guys'. Hopefully I'm not joining those ranks, but for this our 10th album, I personally feel it's up there with my favourites of ours such as One Chord To Another and Never Hear The End Of It... short and sweet with unexpected turns down different paths. Not bad for a 10th LP.

Click here http://www.sloanmusic.com/front to listen to and download the song “Follow the Leader”. If you want the song, just insert your e-mail into the “Get a FREE Song” space and we’ll send you a download link. Feel free to tell your friends to check it out, too.

When the rest of the pieces are in place, we will fill you in first about our exclusive Pre-order with Limited Edition packages (with one-of-a-kind album artwork) available at the Sloan Store.

The rest of this year, we plan on celebrating our 20th Anniversary (as in “XX” ..as in “Double Cross”..) with some very special shows and tours of Canada and the U.S. throughout Spring, Summer and Fall.

Of course, we would love to travel back to other countries if we can make it work out as we do not want to forget those outside of North America. We are excited for you to hear the new album and to celebrate our 20th year with you all!

Talk with you all very soon,
Team Sloan

BUMP

... because this is released this week. Anxiously awaiting my copy to ship from AmazWAN ...

How does this one sound ? Is it a logical successor to "Parallel Play", or is it closer in sound to "One Chord ...", like Jay suggested ??

Both. I don't think they could have made this album 15 years ago, but stylistically it's more like their '90s albums than the last two were.
