Slowdive

Musical Group

Slowdive are an English shoegaze/dream pop band formed in Reading in 1989, led by Rachel Goswell and Neil Halstead. Key albums include Just for a Day (1991), Souvlaki (1993), Pygmalion (1995) and a self-titled 2017 comeback after a 2014 reunion.

Formed in Reading, England in 1989. Early releases and albums (Just for a Day, Souvlaki, Pygmalion) are widely cited in the reviews. Associated with Creation Records in early years (noted in reviews). The band took a long hiatus in the late 1990s; members later worked on Mojave 3. Reunited in 2014 and released a self-titled album in 2017.

Slowdive are presented across the reviews as a seminal English shoegaze/dream pop band. Critics praise their albums Souvlaki, Just for a Day and Pygmalion and highlight ethereal vocals and rich, reverb-heavy guitars. Live coverage (Ypsigrock) is described as almost spiritual.

For:Fans of shoegaze and dream pop, listeners of 90s alternative, and readers interested in atmospheric live shows.

 The symbiosis created between the stage and the audience indicates that it wasn’t just a concert but more of a spiritual experience that’s not easily described in words.

 I fell in love with "Alison", the opener of Souvlaki, thus almost accidentally discovering the shoegazers "Slowdive".

 A dreamlike and sensual dance. A journey into the memories of our heart, on ethereal and remote landscapes.
