Slow Motion Daydream is the sixth studio album by Everclear. It was released in the U.S. in 2003 on Capitol Records and recorded in 2002.

Production

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. The album has sold 106,000 copies.[9]

This was the last album of new material to feature longtime members Craig Montoya and Greg Eklund who left the band later in August of that year.
