Sloan are continuing to do things differently as they trek onward after 20-plus years together, and following their hardcore experiments earlier this year comes word that they’re working on a new double LP with a twist—each of the band’s four members will get his own side of a record to play with.
“You can’t help but have someone say it’s like the Kiss albums,” said Chris Murphy in an interview with Vish Khanna. “And that’s fine, it is like the Kiss albums. Except that they were successful right up until they did their solo albums. We haven’t been successful for a long time.”
He’s referring of course to the four eponymous solo albums released by Kiss members back in 1978, an idea that was billed as a stress reliever for the band and a set that tanked critically and commercially.
“Our band has been around a long time and we could just keep making regular records, but it feels like you need a story with each record you put out, just to get some attention,” said Jay Ferguson. “Now feels like the right time to do it.”
There’s no timeline for the release, but Exclaim is reporting that Chris Murphy is the furthest along of the four.
