Steady is the thirteenth studio album by Canadian rock band Sloan. ^{[1] [2]}

Recording

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, drums for the album were recorded on a 4-track cassette recorder in 2020 at the Sloan Studio in Toronto. The remainder of the album was recorded at Giant Studio and The Bunker in Toronto, Canada. The band previously used a 4-track to record drums for their 1996 album, One Chord to Another , as drummer Andrew Scott had moved to Toronto while the rest of the band remained in their native Halifax. ^[4]
