      forrealll I love the imagery my brain conjured. I see it as this: I’m at the end of my lifetime, trying to accept it. within my consciousness, I’m falling a black hole, a prism of light and memories flashing past me as I fall deeper and deeper before finally joining the center, filling the void with the strains of my soul. a climatic voyage to say the least, where I essentially have to face all stages of grief

    For those of us who were early fans of Slowdive (early 2000s for me), we are now running victory laps. We knew in our bones their albums of the 90s were masterpieces, and now we are fully vindicated by their magnificent albums of 2017 and 2023, proving to the world how gifted they are. I'm still assimilating ''Everything is Alive.'' You need to give these songs time. Some of the tracks (Shanty, Chained to a Cloud, The Slab) already have me so bug-eyed with excitement I am listening to them on repeat for days. Heck, the other morning I woke up at 4:45am just to listen to them again and again. I'm hearing so many of my favorite bands and songs in this new album: Blonde Redhead (23); Radiohead (Reckoner and How to Disappear Completely); heck I'm even hearing Cliff Martinez (Son of Placenta Previa). Who would've thought after all of this time Slowdive would be pushing into new frontiers? What a glorious time to be alive.

      I'm a composer, musician violinist and pianist you both felt what you were supposed to feel a growing sense of uneasiness bevause the upper line of syncopated guitars isrelentless repeated no matter what harmonies under are changing . You are lulled by the repetitiveness of the high mid-soprano line in repearing guitars but the studio reverb and tracery and feedback and other noise on te track collaborate to make you feel as if its one long devastating (tiresome for me)journey in a soundandrain soaked topography .

    Slowdive - I never heard or knew anything about you until your performance at Hyde Park for The Cures anniversary concert - i must confess you where awesome that day and I couldn’t stop humming songs played throughout The Cures performance in my head….I’m glad you’re back with what looks like a timeless album….thank you for the life you brought back to my existence

    I'm down to chill with this and a spot on my local beach. I just got hit with a HUGE wave of nostalgia and I've never heard this before now.
