Slowdive's self-titled album, released in 2017, heralds a celestial reunion for the UK shoegaze legends after 22 years in the cosmic wilderness. This fourth studio offering is a dreamy symphony, weaving together echoes of their past with fresh sonic tapestries, creating a sound that's both expansive and heartfelt. Mixed to a mesmerizing sheen at Los Angeles’ iconic Sunset Sound, its eight tracks captivate with melodies that float between the stars and the soul.
The album's ethereal soundscape is enriched by its buried vocals, lending an enigmatic aura to the lyrics. Tracks like "Slomo," "Star Roving," and "Sugar for the Pill" shimmer with vivid imagery, conjuring visions of shipwrecks, storms, and kites dancing in the wind. With the loudest drums in their discography, Slowdive adds a new intensity to their signature sound. Critics and fans acclaim this majestic return for its balance of nostalgia and innovation, making it a pinnacle in the realms of shoegaze and dream pop. -
