Everyone ready to gaze at shoes? Slowdive are back for their first album in six years and fifth overall



I still haven't yet got round to doing an, ahem, deep dive into their discography since discovering the glorious Golden Hair late last year, but I'm here for new music. This is sounding wonderfully dreamy already wub.gif

Great to have them back, really enjoyed their performance of this at Glastonbury.

I'd heartily recommend giving this video a watch~ it's a good intro

Just given this album a listen (am finally getting back into listening to some new albums after falling off for months oops, got a ton I need to catch up with x) - half of this album is absolutely fantastic, 'alife' in particular is giving immediate song of the year contender (or at least quite high up the list) for me wub.gif the vocals remind me a lot of '(Don't Fear) The Reaper'. Also really love 'the slab', 'shanty' and 'chained to a cloud'. The first couple of singles are on the weaker half of the album for me but still good, think the only song here I wouldn't rush to go back to is 'prayer remembered', sounds like it'd make a nice documentary soundbed though.



Nice that this has given them a first top 10 album - I don't think I'd even heard of them at the time their last album came out but been introduced to them via a few song contest entries on here since then so nice to experience a new era as it happens now!
