Sloan – Pretty Together – Review

Sloan

Pretty Together (RCA)
by Tim Den

Another slab of left-of-center guitar pop from Canada’s finest import. Swaggering rhythms and a melody vocab on loan from Jason Falkner make Pretty Together sound like something Jon Brien could’ve written; meaning it’s catchy, instinctual, feels good to sing along to, but strangely intellectual at the same time. No need to feel guilty when rocking out to this baby: You’re getting the sweets and the nutrients.
