At a Sloan show, we are all rock & roll cultists, all record

store nerds; the classic and obscure hooks and references come fast and delirious, like spinning the FM dial circa 1975. Or maybe ’65, ’85 or ’95, as the Toronto-based band distills post-Beatles and post-Kinks rock into a sound unbounded by time. You don’t have to know as much about rock & roll as these Torontonians do; you just have to feel it and hum it along with them. Return Trip: Due to illness, Sloan had to cancel its November 2019 gig at the Duck Room. This week’s show will celebrate twenty years (technically 22, but who’s counting?) of its excellent fourth album Navy Blues.

last year’s Jimmy Lee that the renowned artist really dug into his own sometimes tragic life for inspiration. Jimmy Lee is a concept album named after Saadiq’s brother, who died of a heroin overdose in the ’90s after contracting HIV. It’s heavy stuff, but the album’s darker tone makes it all the more compelling. And critics and fans alike are taking notice: A recent New York Times profile even suggested the album is a “masterpiece.” It’s easy to see how they came to that conclusion. Small Office Furniture: Saadiq’s December appearance on NPR’s Tiny Desk series serves as an excellent refresher course on the man’s many gifts, for those who need such a thing.

Her sense of play and self-abasement on screen matches the verve and energy of her songs, which sometimes channel fellow Georgia weirdos the Black Lips as well as Caroline Rose’s frenetic pop nail-bombs.
