Thirty years after Slowdive’s Souvlaki helped define the shoegaze movement, Everything Is Alive, the band’s fifth studio album and second since regrouping in 2014, finds them trading their signature tremolo-soaked guitars for crisp, modulated synths, resulting in an uncharacteristically polished sound. Flashes of unrefined haze still manage to work their way into the songs, though, pointing to the album’s primary theme: the duality between old and new.
There’s always been a superhuman quality to Slowdive’s music. Rachel Goswell’s and Neil Halstead’s vocals meld so harmoniously that they often sound like they’re coming from a single person—“I know you dream of snowfields/Floating high above the trees,” they sing on “Kisses,” yearning for new beginnings—while Christian Savill’s guitars constitute a voice all its own. Bassist Nick Chaplin and drummer Simon Scott introduce a layer of tonal depth and texture, and this...

Slowdive have released new song “Skin in the Game.” It’s their second single off of their forthcoming album Everything Is Alive, following “Kisses.”
“I won’t know and you won’t say it now,” Neil Halstead sings on the contemplative track. “’Cause you don’t say and I will never ask.” The gauzy song is accompanied by a spiraling visualizer.
Everything Is Alive is the shoegaze icons’ first studio album since 2017’s eponymous LP, which marked their first LP in 22 years. It arrives on Sept. 1 via Dead Oceans.

Slowdive have revealed that their recently-completed fifth album, everything is alive, will arrive on September 1st via Dead Oceans. The announcement comes with a fresh slate of 2023 tour dates (get tickets here) as well as the LP’s first single “kisses.”
Production on the album began as far back as Fall 2020, with the British quintet recording across the UK over the next two years. It was produced by lead guitarist-songwriter Neil Halstead and partially recorded in his home studio, while six of the eight tracks were mixed by Grammy-winning engineer Shawn Everett.
“There were some profound shifts for some of us personally,” vocalist-guitarist Rachel Goswell shared in a statement, alluding to the 2020 passing of her mother and drummer Simon Scott’s father, both to whom the album is dedicated. “Those crossroads are reflected in the many-layered emotional tenor of Slowdive’s music; everything is alive is heavy with experience, but each note is poised,...

Norman Lear’s Cold Turkey is preferred by 4 out of 5 doctors, and the other doctor is a fool that doesn’t smoke cigarettes. Lear’s triple-threat writing, producing and directing effort is by no means a lazy comedy, with its twenty featured actors dashing around like asylum inmates for ninety minutes. It’s not the show to help one kick the habit, that’s for sure — even though it makes smoking look appropriately disgusting.
