Slowdive - Everything is Alive

[Rubin Farr]

[species8472]

this is exactly the type of news i dream of waking up to

[chronical]

now boc just needs to release music and it's 2013 all over again

[exitonly]

they’ve still got it. the production is just a tad bit polished for my taste but really enjoying the vibe on this track. i remember seeing them on their reunion tour and couldn’t believe it was really happening. in high school they were just like this long forgotten myth. glad they are still making things.

[Friendly Stranger]

right on!!

[gnarlybog]

Excellent. the previous album was such a nice surprise.

Hyped for this. Last album (and them live, when it came out) were brilliant. 

[Alcofribas]

finally getting to see them live after first hearing them over 25 years ago. sort of strange to even think of this.

new single sounds great. i appreciate this softer sound, feels good!

They need the remaster treatment

What a welcome surprise. They hit me hard.. so hard I was almost afraid to click the new single until I was ready. But Neil is calling this album "breezy and positive" it seems. Sounds perfect right now. Can't wait.

Me and a friend saw them live in the summer of 2014 at what must have been my last festival drinking alcohol.

My friend's wife found us rolling on the grass laughing in the bicycle park later that night. I reckon it was a good show.

I never truly bonded with their comeback album to be honest, but the new single sounds great.

New song sounds great

They are playing Glastonbury today live on bbc iplayer 5pm to 6pm

[Berk]

These are so great at melody

The new single is good but a real downgrade from their previous work. Hopefully it'll grow on me and the new album might surprise me because their four other albums are heavenly.

New single. Really loving this one!

[gnarlybog]

This is shaping up to be a special thing. The first single is very New Order-ish, no?

[splesh]

I now have their reunion selftitled and this new one to check out! Consider me quite excited. Have long enjoyed their music (not as long as some, I'm not old enough to have followed them in their original run in the 90s) and for a while they were just legends of the previous generation

That remix is utterly gorgeous.  One of my favourite ever remixes.

Also, while we wait for the new album. Morr Music put out this fab comp of Slowdive Covers by electronica artists (1-14) and some tracks "inspired by Slowdive" (15-28)...

some great stuff here.
