The boiled down brother to their 30 song magnum opus ''Never Hear the End of It'',''Parallel Play'' is the latest from power pop royalty Sloan. Less a conscious answer to NHTEI's unabridged creative approach, ''Parallel Play'' is a continuation of the musical concepts put forth on their last album and a further exploration of the band's four-songwriter dynamic. ''Parallel Play'' will also be available on vinyl.
