One Chord to Another by Sloan
One Chord to Another is an album by Sloan, released in 1996. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 10 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “The Good In Everyone”, on 6 lists with a best position of #45.
One Chord to Another, Sloan's third album, came out in Canada in 1996 on Murderecords, their first LP without Geffen behind it, and the American release followed through The Enclave a year later. The Halifax four-piece go straight for the jangle and the harmonies: this is bright, Beatles-besotted power pop, with Chris Murphy, Patrick Pentland, Jay Ferguson and Andrew Scott passing the songwriting and the lead vocals around the room the way they always have.
"The Good in Everyone" crashes in at full tilt, while "Everything You've Done Wrong" and "The Lines You Amend" show off how sweetly they can turn a tune. The album also brought Sloan their first Juno Award, for Alternative Album of the Year in 1997.
