’90s shoegaze heavyweights Slowdive broke up in 1995, shortly after the release of their album Pygmalion. They reunited to tour three years ago, and now they’re getting ready to release a new self-titled album, their first in 22 years. Slowdive, in fact, is coming out in just over a month — so after waiting all that time, we won’t have to hold out much longer.
The band shared the early song “Star Roving” back in January, and they played a few new songs live in Glasgow last night. Now they’ve shared all the details on the album, as well as a video for the lovely and slow-rolling new song “Sugar For The Pill.” It’s a grand, stately, deeply pretty song, one that never sounds as trapped in the ’90s as some of these newly-reunited bands occasionally can. Below, check out the in/out-directed video and the tracklist for the new album.
Tracklist:
01 “Slomo”
02 “Star Roving”
03 “Don’t Know Why”
04 “Sugar For The Pill”
05 “Everyone Knows”
06 “No Longer Making Time”
07 “Go Get It”
08 “Falling Ashes”
Slowdive is out 5/5 on Dead Oceans.
