Twice Removed, the second album from Halifax's Sloan, came out on Geffen in 1994, and it's the sound of a band turning its back on the noise. Coming off their debut Smeared, they went more melodic: bright harmonies, jangling guitars and songs that owe more to classic pop than to the grunge the label was selling at the time. It took seven weeks and $120,000 to make.
Geffen barely promoted it, apparently because it didn't fit the grunge mold, and the band and the label split soon after. Sloan even broke up for a spell and stepped back from touring and writing. The songs held up, though: "Coax Me" is wry and hooky, and "People of the Sky" floats. Each member shares the songwriting and the lead vocals, which gives the record its patchwork charm.
