Just saw them live last weekend at our local festival, it was amazing yet another time around, loved it! Really enjoy the new singles too, they only played kisses though
Any impressions on the second and third singles in here? I’ve been purposefully avoiding since this thing only runs for 8 tracks
I like them all but think the second was the weakest. Third one is a little darker and weirder which I am all for. Forgot this was only 8 tracks so I’ll give the singles a rest for a bit now
Same here, had I known it's only 8 tracks I wouldn't have checked that 3rd single out at all (it's really a great one though!)
It’s been pouring all day, hoping it lets up by 9:00 so I can take a walk and give this thing a listen. So stoked this day is finally here
I've been so excited for this one. 2017 S/t is one of my favorite albums ever. Whole LP is already up on Slowdive's youtube if you can use a VPN!
Whew, come on. This is great. I love how soft these songs feel, which I think is in large part due to the drum production. So many great synth tones too. Where other popular shoegaze bands want to pummel you with reverb, Slowdive really excels at weaving you into a cloud of texture. And the sequencing - this band really knows how to let their music take you for a ride Initially I was hoping for some bigger dynamic shifts in a few of these songs, but given Neil’s comment about this starting as a minimal electronic record, it tracks that they don’t really explode for the most part. Can’t say I don’t wish there was maybe at least one song with a ramped up chorus, but I still really love what we got
Didn’t realize this was out today, hyped to listen tonight ! Singles are all great to me, kisses was my fav
