Michael Halsband Twenty is a nice round number for an anniversary, and Sloan marked their two decades as a band in fine style last year, releasing the milestone-referencing Double Cross and touring a career-spanning set more extensively than they have in some time.

toronto's modern superstition's debut record/ep – its six songs – all the things we've been told comes out on 9.21, im about halfway through it, and i think its pretty great. said record was produced by sloan's patrick pentland, so if you're a sloan fan, this may be of interest of you. in a lot of ways they're very pretenders-ish, but theres also a definitely motown vibe being thrown down as well.
