They're back

I guess it's official as Sloan have announced that their new album, Parallel Play, will be out June 10th. It won't have as many tracks as the last album, but as usual everybody contributes songs. Chris, Patrick, and Jay all put in three songs while Andrew adds four songs for thirteen in total.

In Canada it's from murderecords and in the USA it's from Yep Roc records. Yep Roc has a pre-order special right now where the first 200 CD pre-orders get an autograph copy of the album. They also have a CD+LP combo deal too. I decided to take a chance and pre-order it in some hopes of getting an autographed copy. No doubt I'll probably the 201 pre-order, but you don't know unless you try. Yes, it'll cost more than buying here in Canada at Future Shop or HMV, but I still had to try and maybe they'll be more bonus stuff. When Yep Roc also distributed Never Hear The End Of It, they put in an online code to download two free Sloan tracks from the Yep Roc website. These free tracks were not available in Canada, so they were US exclusive. Hopefully, they'll do the same thing again with the new album. Anyway, it's a new Sloan album, so we all win!
