Slowdive are back with a new album. Limited crystal clear vinyl edition.
Since 2017's exceptional self-titled return to form, which marked the first new material in over two decades from Reading shoegaze pioneers Slowdive, fans have been anticipating a continuation of the group's welcome resurgence, as it was first revealed in 2020 that work on yet another full-length was well under way. Everything Is Alive promises a more minimal electronic based backdrop, seemingly at odds with the mercurial dream-pop of its predecessor, while being directly influenced by the passing of both vocalist/guitarist Rachel Goswell's mother and drummer Simon Scott's father. Where six years is often perceived as a lengthy gap between releases, for the inimitable Slowdive, it's a very promising turnaround, indicating the rejuvenated passion, poise and purpose the members feel when in collaboration and craft.
