STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
"Envisioned as an imaginary B-side to Bruce Springsteen’s cover of 'Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town,' the song is an upbeat rocker that carries a bittersweet sadness."
Hey! While you're out there contributing to the economy today, take a moment for this soon-to-be-classic holiday number by Sloan Brothers.
"Ain’t Goin’ Home This Christmastime" is streaming exclusively today at Flagpole Magazine and will land at all streamers on Tuesday. Click for your life!
More with Sloan Brothers this afternoon!
(I was about to say morning because I still didn't have coffee yet. It was a mistake not to have coffee yet. I can admit that. I feel unburdened when I share my personal failure with you, friends of social media.)
This concludes my post about Sloan Brothers.
Athens! Check out yer boy Sloan Simpson beaming out from the cover of this week's Flagpole Magazine! I'm so happy to represent for the Sloan Brothers project because it represents for me. It's everything about why I do this for a living - i.e., I do it for a loving!
Sloan made 𝘚𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 𝘜𝘱𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦 because the pandemic took the life and love he knows as a recordist away. His friends encouraged and supported him, gave that love back, and everyone who listens to this record hears it in the songs.
Anyway, it's a small joy in rough times to see a brother get the spotlight thrown their way. Congrats Sloan!
And back to biz: You can stream now, pre-order your vinyl (out 7/1) and RSVP for the 𝘚𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 𝘜𝘱𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦 listening party (also 7/1) at the following links:

"Sloan Simpson may not covet the spotlight, but he sure knows how to share it."
Wow, Immersive Atlanta nails the love lying beneath the surface throughout the entire Sloan Brothers project, including this remix by Gene Woolfolk III (aka Dream Tent) of the title track "System Update," premiering now!
"The result is a pulsing effort that recontextualizes the song as a sprawling dance-inflected freakout. Here, Woolfolk takes Simpson’s lurching desert rock stomp and reveals the disco heart pumping within."

"That spirit of adventure is evident throughout the album, and is one of its finest qualities."
Many thanks to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution for chatting with Sloan Simpson about the debut Sloan Brothers album!
𝘚𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 𝘜𝘱𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦 is available everywhere digitally next Friday, May 13 via Science Project Records and what better day than today to pre-order the vinyl which arrives on Friday, July 1.
What I'm trying to say is, "Did You Know It's Bandcamp Friday?"
Sloan and Robert Schneider from The Apples in stereo sing this little ditty of an unauthorized theme song to remind you! Today, it’s available on all streaming platforms, because we thought it'd be fun to unwittingly ensnare the big(ger) daddy streamers to do our dirty work!
To summarize: Read the article, hear the tune, buy the record!
The name of this post is "When Sloan Brothers Got Groovy.” Despite the actual title, "Anxiety" is a synth and bass pocket that is actually freeing.
Sloan Simpson's story behind the tune is tougher, though, and he's tougher for it. You can read about it while you listen over at It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine. The single is out this Friday, April 15, with the 𝘚𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 𝘜𝘱𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦 album coming May 13 from Science Project Records.
Pre-order on Bandcamp here. You can pick up the unauthorized Bandcamp Friday theme song "Did You Know It's Bandcamp Friday?" while you're there, too!
