Slowdive preview new song

2017-01-12 by praise jimmy EMERITUS | 50 Comments
Following nearly a year of hinting at an upcoming album and several posts confirming that the long-awaited successor to 1995's Pygmalion was indeed on the way, seminal shoegazers Slowdive have released their first new song in twenty-two years, entitled "Star Roving". Aside from this, no further information about the upcoming album or its release date is known.

Its pretty good. Like it more each time i listen

Kind of a shame its a regression from the pygmalion sound but im sure most of their fans wanted it to sound more like their shoegazier stuff

After MBV I wonder if there's some golden rule of waiting 20+years before a comeback for shoegaze bands

love the song, just wish it wasn't so waxed and shiny with modern production... if this thing had the texture of Morningrise or the self-titled EP it would be even better. still, it'sa good track and I'm excited to hear the full length

Honestly the question at this point is which 90's shoegaze bands AREN'T reuniting for new music. Not that I'm complaining considering this is one of my favorite bands of all time.

This is pretty much everything I want out of a Slowdive song in 2017. So naturally I fucking love it.

during the obnoxiously long build-up to the song premiere on BBC Radio 6 this morning, the host dude stated at one point "It's called Star Roving, and it'll be out March 10 on Dead Oceans". obviously since the song's already out he wasn't referring to that, so I almost wonder if he was referring to an album.

Either that or maybe a 7" release of the single?

Hoping for album though. Album pls.

It's really good but at the same time it's not quite as great of a comeback as I had hoped for. It's definitely got a nu-gaze sound similar to Nothing's Guilty of Everything album, which isn't bad by any means but it just kinda makes me wonder if they'll sound more like Slowdive or just any other 2010 nu-gaze band..
