Can’t express my excitement for this album. Only listened to the single ‘kisses’ before which was vintage Slowdive. But ‘shanty’, the opener of this album… what a track!

What do y’all think?

      Glad you like it! All of their albums are great, by the way, if Slowdive is new to you.

      Also, look at when the albums were released, there’s a nice (20 year) surprise there.

    I love Slowdive! I just gave it a first superficial listen (while working) and I liked it. It feels… comfortable, in a way? Some might see it as a weakness, but I’m welcoming some cozy music I can sink into.

      Not a weakness at all! There’s definitely something comfortable about their sound. But still there’s plenty to chew on if you put your teeth into it.

      For me it’s mostly transportative music: it takes my mind away to different places.

    Thank you for bringing my attention to this, Sugar for the Pill is one of my favorite songs and this feels like an entire album of that.

    I like the artwork, seems like a Name Of The Rose reference? Haven’t heard it yet but Slowdives music always felt good to very good for me personally.
