Everything Is Alive by Slowdive (Review)
The pairing of introspective lyrics and evolved sonics leads to a quality of reflection that’s unique in Slowdive’s catalog.
Reviews of Slowdive
Formed by Neil Halstead and Rachel Goswell in 1989, Slowdive would become one of the shoegaze scene’s shining lights thanks to albums like Just for a Day and Souvlaki. After disbanding in 1995, Halstead and Goswell formed the more folk/country-tinged Mojave 3. Slowdive reunited in 2014 and released a new self-titled full-length in 2017 to widespread acclaim. Their latest album, Everything Is Alive, was released in 2023.

Catch the Breeze by Slowdive (Review)
About as perfect a summation of Slowdive’s career as one can find.
Souvlaki by Slowdive (Review)
Souvlaki is Slowdive’s best collective effort, funneling the atmospherics of their previous efforts into a more cohesive package.
Just for a Day by Slowdive (Review)
My first introduction to Slowdive, and an album that left such an impact on me that I still compare new albums to it today.
