Slowdive's fifth album, released in 2023, followed years of loss for the band — both Rachel Goswell and drummer Simon Scott lost a parent during its making — yet the record plays more like an exhale than an elegy. Written and produced by Neil Halstead and mixed by Shawn Everett, it folds pulsing synths and electronic textures into the group's signature wall of guitar haze, sounding both familiar and newly alive. Widely reviewed as some of the best work of their career, it proves the band's mid-90s shoegaze blueprint still has plenty of room left to grow. Received from Secretly Distribution
