Reunited shoegaze greats Slowdive have finally returned after 22 years. Following a victory lap / festival run in 2014, Slowdive have officially thrown their hats back in the ring with “Star Roving,” the band’s new song and “part of a bunch of new tracks” on the way from the Reading legends. So far, no word on tour dates or what those tracks will become, but the band has announced their signing to Dead Oceans Records.
Their newest single “Sugar for the Pill” is a gorgeous reverb-laden ballad with hints of that dreamy psychedelic haze that Slowdive perfected over 25 years ago. It’s an instant buy of the highest calibure, but keep in mind that Dead Oceans knows this, and the only way you’re going to be able to acquire the silver vinyl variant through them is by grabbing their bundle. You’ll get a t-shirt, a slipmat, some enamel badges and, of course, a handy dandy CD to throw into that portable discman that’s been collecting dust in your attic. If there ever was an album to bring that puppy back into the world, this would be it. Listen to the new tracks below and grab a bundle after the ‘buy’ link.
