Kogge Sloan

A seminal figure in the evolution of West Coast pop, singer/songwriter P.F. Sloan composed and produced some of the most enduring records of the 1960s. While his solo efforts remain folk-rock cult classics, they were barely promoted by longtime label Dunhill, and his subsequent exit from the company was the start of a fall from grace that culminated in a three-decade absence from the studio. Born Philip Gary Schlein in New York City on September 18, 1945, he spent the lion's share of his adolescence in Los Angeles. While browsing the Sunset and Vine music store Wallich's Music City, the 12-year-old met Elvis Presley, who agreed to an impromptu introductory guitar lesson.

Thirty years into their career, Canadian indie rock perennials Sloan return with their 13th album: Steady. Featuring the band's trademark harmonies and every band member taking lead vocal duties on at least a couple tracks, there's no better musical commonwealth than this quartet. You'll hear the power pop rockers like "Magical Thinking" and "Keep Your Name Alive" to the moving, stripped-back introspective numbers like "Simply Leaving" and "Human Nature", and the psychedelic trips of "Panic of Runnymede" and "Close Encounters." It's hard to think of another band that has stayed as consistent for three decades musically and still has all the same band members for their entire career. Thirteen albums later, slow and steady wins the race.

L'audiocorso d'inglese di John Peter Sloan vi offre una novità assoluta: per la prima volta imparerete divertendovi, finalmente liberi dallo spiacevole "complesso dell'inglese" e dall'odiosa paura di fare figuracce. Senza perdere tempo a memorizzare vocaboli o espressioni inutili, grazie al metodo Sloan capire e farvi capire sarà una passeggiata.

That title isn't just some random number. 12 is indeed the 12th album from Canadian power-pop perennials Sloan, which means it's as good as Led Zeppelin IV, Black Sabbath's Vol. 4, and Chicago 4 all put together.
