Slowdive released their debut album, Just For A Day, in 1991 via Creation Records. The esteemed Souvlaki followed in 1993 and Pygmalion in 1995, and then the band disbanded. In the 22 years of their virtual disappearance, the band’s reputation and reverence continued to grow, as people continued to discover and be drawn to their recordings. In 2014, Slowdive announced that they had reunited and over the course of that summer they thrilled emotional crowds across the European festival circuit and the US.
The intention was always that new music would follow. Finally in January 2017 the band signed to Dead Oceans and released their first new single “Star Roving.”
The forthcoming shows will see the band playing a mix of old classics and new material up close and personal.
