Episode 75: Sloan’s “Smeared” (1992)

Listen Later

In our milestone 75th episode, we dive into Sloan’s 1992 debut album “Smeared,” a swirling blend of shoegaze haze, grunge grit, and powerpop sparkle. Often overlooked, this Canadian gem delivers poppy genius with fuzzed-out guitars and melodic hooks that still resonate. Join us as we unpack the textures, tones, and legacy of an album that dared to smear genres together.
