Our Take

Slowdive's self-titled album is like a dreamy, hazy journey through a sonic landscape filled with ethereal vocals and shimmering guitars. The British shoegaze pioneers have returned with their first album in 22 years, and it's clear that they have not lost their touch.

From the opening track "Slomo" to the closing notes of "Falling Ashes," Slowdive takes listeners on a mesmerising trip through lush, reverb-soaked soundscapes. The band's signature sound is still present, with Rachel Goswell and Neil Halstead's angelic vocals floating effortlessly over layers of swirling guitars and hypnotic rhythms.

Tracks like "Sugar for the Pill" and "Star Roving" showcase Slowdive's ability to create atmospheric, immersive music that envelops the listener in a warm, fuzzy blanket of sound. It's the perfect album to get lost in on a rainy day or a late-night drive through the city.

While Slowdive may not be breaking new ground with this album, they've proven that they are still masters of their craft. Fans of the band's earlier work will not be disappointed, and newcomers will find plenty to love in this collection of dreamy, atmospheric tunes.

Overall, Slowdive's self-titled album is a welcome return from one of shoegaze's most beloved bands. So sit back, relax, and let the music wash over you like a gentle wave. You won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Slowdive

Slowdive, the legendary shoegaze band from Reading, England, are the sonic equivalent of lying in a field of daisies on a warm summer day. Formed in 1989, Slowdive quickly made a name for themselves with their dreamy, ethereal soundscapes and hazy vocals that transport listeners to another dimension. Their debut album, Just For a Day, released in 1991, is a masterclass in atmospheric, immersive music that envelops you like a warm hug. Tracks like "Alison" and "Catch the Breeze" showcase the band's ability to create lush, hypnotic soundscapes that draw you in and refuse to let go. Their sophomore effort, Souvlaki, released in 1993, solidified Slowdive's status as one of the pioneers of the shoegaze genre. With songs like "When the Sun Hits" and "Dagger", the band continued to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories, cementing their place in music history. After a brief hiatus, Slowdive made a triumphant return in 2014 with their self-titled album, proving that their magic was as potent as ever. Tracks like "Star Roving" and "Sugar for the Pill" showcase the band's evolution while still maintaining their signature dreamy sound. With their swirling guitars, lush harmonies, and otherworldly melodies, Slowdive are a band that transcends time and space, inviting listeners to get lost in their sonic paradise. So put on your headphones, close your eyes, and let Slowdive take you on a journey through the cosmos of sound.
