Less a conscious answer to NHTEOI's unabridged creative approach, Parallel Play is a continuation of the musical concepts put forth on their last album and a further exploration of the band's four-songwriter dynamic. A term taken from the science of developmental psychology, Parallel Play is a behavior seen in young children in which they enjoy independent activities in the company of other children, something the four boys in Sloan know a lot about. As per their unique musical modus operandi, the members of Sloan wrote songs independently and then joined forces in the studio to produce yet another album of timeless, guitar-driven pop. For Sloan, Parallel Play proves once again that four times the songwriters equals four times the rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: Digipak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sloan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42027200151633,"sku":"EDY3E2-96DV-WK","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/sloan-parallel-play_wBl8e.jpg?v=1762487405"},{"product_id":"sloan-commonwealth-cd","title":"Commonwealth (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn September 9th, the Toronto-based quartet Sloan will release their 11th studio album Commonwealth via Yep Roc Records. The 15-song collection sees Sloan creating one of the most unique and ambitious recordings of their two-decade-plus career. The Toronto-based rock quartet is perhaps the most truly democratic group in the annals of pop, with Jay Ferguson, Chris Murphy, Patrick Pentland, and Andrew Scott all contributing  original compositions to each record, equal partners with equal say over every aspect of their work. Where in the past creative lines have been blurred to create the multi-faceted Sloan sound, Commonwealth sees the four bandmates disassociating ever so slightly to create an old-school double album sequenced with each member staking out a single side as their own artistic dominion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: Digipak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sloan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42027279941713,"sku":"WPLED8-F9PL-9I","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/sloan-commonwealth_5P8hL.jpg?v=1762487968"},{"product_id":"sloan-steady-cd","title":"Steady (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThirty years into their career, Canadian indie rock perennials Sloan return with their 13th album: Steady.

Yet another Sloan serving of august and finely crafted rock, Never Hear the End of It is also thirty tracks long. You heard me. Thirty. From pop masterpieces like \"Who Taught You to Live Like That\" (which clocked the highest number of first week downloads in iTunes history upon its Canadian release), to the unforgettable \"Listen to the Radio,\" this album could, for any other band, be close to three perfect records. Throughout their critically lauded career (including a recent tour with The Rolling Stones), Sloan has managed to share songwriting duties between all members and never have a single change in line-up.

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.

But seriously: not only are Sloan the rare band to make it to their 12th record, and not only are Sloan the rare band to make it to their 12th record with all four original members, and not only are Sloan the rare band to make it to their 12th album with four original members who are equally prolific songwriters, they're arguably the only band to make it to their 12th album with four original members who are both equally prolific songwriters and all still working at the top of their respective games, sounding utterly ageless in the process. On 12, each of the four principals contribute three stellar songs that play to their core strengths: Patrick Pentland with the soaring rock anthems, Chris Murphy with the playful, participatory sing-alongs, Jay Ferguson with the jaunty prog-pop gems, and Andrew Scott with the whimsical innerspace explorations.
