Slowdive is a shoegaze band that originated in Reading, England in 1989. After disbanding in 1995, the group made a comeback in 2014. The classic line-up includes Rachel Goswell on vocals and guitar, Nick Chaplin on bass, Neil Halstead on vocals and guitar, Simon Scott on drums (1990 - 1994 and since 2014), and Christian Savill on guitar. Throughout their career, Slowdive had three other drummers: Adrian Sell (1989), Neil Carter (1990), and Ian McCutcheon (1994 - 1995).

Everything Is Alive, Slowdive’s 5th record, is exactly what the title suggests: an exploration into the shimmering nature of life and the universal touch points within it. While there are parts of this record that could sit neatly next to the atmospheric quality of 1995’s Pygmalion; everything is alive also manages to break down the boundaries of what’s come before it.&nbsp; Spanning psychedelic soundscapes, pulsating 80’s electronic elements and John Cale inspired journeys, the album lands immediately as something made for 2023 and beyond.

For a genre that is often thought of as divisive, and often warrants introspection, here Slowdive show their craft as the masters of it by pushing it outwards, beyond the singular; the end result being a record which feels as emotional and cathartic as it is hopeful.
