Slowdive - Full performance (Live at The Current, 2017)

There's something to be said for lifelong friendships. Rachel Goswell and Neil Halstead of the band Slowdive have known one another since their first days of primary school. Together with a group of friends in their hometown of Reading, England, they assembled the band Slowdive in 1989.
Following the release of their 1995 album Pygmalion, the members of Slowdive went on a bit of a break … that lasted 20 years. But because they had been friends for so long, a reunion felt natural. "We made a decision to get back together and do a record, and it just felt like everyone was really keen and excited to do that, so I guess it was pretty easy," Halstead says. "It was weird; as soon as we started rehearsing again, it really felt like it was the same gang. We kind of fell into our respective modes of band behavior. Everyone fell into their spot within the group. We hadn't spent a lot of time together as a group over the past 20 years, so it was so interesting to see those patterns of behavior fall in again."
On May 5, 2017, Slowdive released a new, self-titled album ("We hadn't done a record in so long, it seemed like the obvious but right choice," Halstead says).

Their sound is so much more beautiful and mature now that they have some years on their vocal chords.

[@sybilaolivas18]

Jajajaaa noooo en estudio así se graba la batería cuando todos tocan juntos .

[@1313sp]

Is there a reason Rachel is not playing guitar anymore?

[@Freeskiingisdabest]

Good question, always loved her playing.. maybe it’s because she’s nearly deaf.

[@transparenteyelids]

i noticed that too. maybe it’s just a new direction for them, a little less guitar and more synth. although i recall she plays on some songs like “no longer making time”

[@GShaw197]

She still plays on songs that need a third guitar - Catch the Breeze, When the Sun Hits etc.

[@qu4zz4r]

Sounds like a Noel Gallagher's song)

[@Zeek764]

Love Oasis but the Gallaghers are not as talented as this lol!
