Slow Motion
Daydream is an album by Everclear that was released (in the
U.S.
) by Capitol Records
on March 11, 2003 (see 2003 in
music). Recorded in 2002. The first single released to
radio from
Slow Motion Daydream was "
Volvo Driving Soccer Mom", followed
by second single "The New York Times".
Though the album debuted better than the band's last album at 33 on
the Billboard charts, the album quickly fell off the charts due to
lack of promotion by Capitol Records and a dwindling fan base. The
album has sold only 100,000 copies to date.
This was the last album of new material to feature long time
members Craig Montoya and Greg Eklund who left the band later in
August of that year.

An early leaked tracklist featured the songs "Your New Disease,"
"Happy," and "Sex with a Movie Star." At some point after the
completion of this version of the album, an additional recording
session produced the new songs "I Want to Die a Beautiful Death,"
"The New York Times," and "White Noise," which Art Alexakis decided
to include on the album instead. "Your New Disease" and "Happy"
were relegated to the b-side of the "Volvo Driving Soccer Mom"
single, while "Sex with a Movie Star" finally surfaced on the
Ten
Years Gone career retrospective.
