It’s been 22 years since Slowdive recorded an album, and their self-titled release is a stunning return, washing over you with expansive soundscapes and shimmering layers that feel timeless. Guitars stretch into endless textures, drums pulse with steady restraint, and the vocals of Neil Halstead and Rachel Goswell float through like distant echoes, tender yet enveloping. The songs drift between dreamlike haze and grounded clarity, carrying both the weight of memory and the spark of renewal. Slowdive captures everything that made the band so beloved while sounding fresh and vital, a powerful reminder of shoegaze’s ability to transport and transform.
