It's a strange thing when a band mining nostalgic sounds of past generations also engenders their own canonical significance. But nearly 20 years and some major label ups-and-downs on, Sloan--Canada's primary power-pop export before the New Pornographers unzipped their goods--are forging ahead in their maturity while still representing a blast from the past. "Witch's Wand" strips things down to a piano-melody gallop that sounds a few bars askew from the Kinks' "Lola," before bridging to a chorus with a more contemporary set of handclaps and blissful vocal hiccups. Introspective lyrics like those on "Burn For It" and the AM radio-ready "Living The Dream" contribute to PARALLEL PLAY's sounding as much like an update on the guys' newfound elder statesman status as it does a flawlessly executed turn-back-the-clock-affair. By looking back with equal deftness to Big Star, the British Invasion, and their own imprinted Sloan style, these Canucks have prolonged not just the legacy of their influences, but their own legacy as well.Entertainment Weekly (p.66) - "[T]he foursome -- who alternate songwriting and vocal duties -- have honed their skills to a finely calibrated science." -- Grade: B+
Magnet (p.116) - "PARALLEL PLAY joins the likes of Matthew Sweet's GIRLFRIEND and the Posies' FROSTING ON THE BEATER in the pantheon of power pop." Sloan Parallel Play Songs Parallel Play Review

Purchase Parallel Play CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Chills Kaleidoscope World CD (1986) (Import) Import; Australia
Parallel Play album
 $23.75
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD contains 10 bonus tracks and represents everything the band recorded through early 1986, including all of the LOST EP, and the I LOVE MY LEATHER JACKET/THE GREAT ESCAPE 12"
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD, The Chills' 18-track compilation culled from The Chills early and mid-'80s EPs and singles, is highlighted by the song "Pink Frost."
The Chills' Martin Phillipps mixes up melodic pop with elements of garage rock and punk, creating songs with a sweet melancholy all their own. Phillipps has always been the focus of the Chills, writing and singing the band's songs. His group has also rivaled Menudo in its sheer number of personnel changes. In a just world, the Chills would have sold just as many records.

| | Killing Floor CD (1995) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak
Parallel Play music CDs
$16.65
The sheer toughness -- and overall derivative -- nature of Killing Floor's debut album, issued six months after Led Zeppelin's debut in 1969 on the Spark label, is a wondrous contrast to the overly slick treatment American blues were given by British artists. All of these tunes, with the exception of one, are revamped versions of songs from the blues canon with different words. The lone "cover" in the set was written by Willie Dixon titled "Woman You Need Love," the tune Zep ripped for "Whole Lotta Love." Despite the fact that this set was issued before by Repertoire, the Akarma version is definitive in that it features the original cover artwork in a heavy cardboard gatefold sleeve, and killer sound. This is a raw, immediate, ...
| | Danny Kirwan Second Chapter CD (1975) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak
Parallel Play songs
$19.79
The first solo album from Fleetwood Mac singer/songwriter Daniel David Kirwan has the future producer for Human League and Buzzcocks, Martin Rushent, utilizing those skills here, as well as engineering. The sound is crystal clear, and a feather in the cap for Rushent as well as Kirwan. It starts off with an uncharacteristic "Ram Jam City," which has more Lindsey Buckingham sounds than one would expect, especially since the two guitarists come from two different musical worlds. "Odds and Ends" is more lighthearted, the kind of music Paul McCartney toyed with on The White Album's "Rocky Raccoon." What Second Chapter immediately sets forth is the importance of Kirwan as a pop artist, and how, despite Fleetwood Mac's success after he left, his sounds could still have been beneficial to that supergroup. ...
| | Legend CD (2007) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak
Parallel Play album
$16.59
In some circles, Mickey Jupp is something of a minor legend, a roots rocker with excellent taste and a cutting wit, best heard on the songs "Switchboard Susan" and "You'll Never Get Me Up in One of Those," both covered by Nick Lowe. Basher's endorsement is a clear indication that Jupp is a pub rocker, a guy who specializes in laid-back good times, so it shouldn't come as a great surprise that his first band, Legend, was proto-pub, an unabashed celebration of old-time rock & roll, filled with three-chord Chuck Berry rockers and doo wop backing ...
