slowdive

Early ‘90s shoegaze legends slowdive re-emerged after the success of Pygmalion (1995) 29 years ago with their self-titled record in 2017 and an earth-shaking reunion set at Barcelona's Primavera Sound Festival. They've been selling out shows and releasing new music ever since - including 2023's brilliant Everything Is Alive. slowdive performs at MASS MoCA as part of their 2024-2025 U.S. Tour. About the Artist: The fifth album from shoegaze giants slowdive contains the duality of a familiar internal language mixed with the exaltation of new beginnings. Everything Is Alive is transportive, searching, and aglow, the work of a classic band continuing to pitch its unmistakable voice to the future. Six years after the group's monumental self-titled album, Everything Is Alive finds slowdive - vocalists and guitarists Rachel Goswell and Neil Halstead, guitarist Christian Savill, bassist Nick Chaplin, and drummer Simon Scott - locating evermore contours of its immersive, elemental sound. For a genre that is often thought of as divisive, and often warrants introspection, here slowdive show their craft as the masters of it by pushing it outwards, beyond the singular; the end result being a record which feels as emotional and cathartic as it is optimistic.
