"People of the Sky" was the second single from Twice Removed, the second album by Canadian band Sloan, released in 1994, and it puts Andrew Scott out front: he sings lead and plays drums and guitar, alongside Jay Ferguson and Patrick Pentland on guitars and Chris Murphy on bass and backing vocals. The writing credit goes to Sloan as a whole, and the band produced and mixed it with Jim Rondinelli, who also engineered.
It got the video treatment twice: two clips were made, and the alternate one was shot on the same set the band had used for "Coax Me", the single that came before it. Years later it took its place on the singles collection A Sides Win: Singles 1992-2005.
