Slowdive - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

If you knew Cocteau Twins you would know they gave birth to this genre. Elizabeth Frazer's vocal style paved the way for shoegaze dream pop albeit that term came in 1988 when A.R. Kane were the ones to coin the term “dream pop” in the first place, with founding member Alex Ayuli first using it to describe their band’s sound.

[@wolfofthecave75]

@@jamesnolan4412I grew up in the 80s/90s so I can say I know quite a bit about The Cocteau Twins and what Shoegaze is ;) . I'm not talking about who invented Shoegaze genre though, I'm talking about how they were mixing elements of Shoegaze, Alternative Rock, Newwave into a beautiful modern Indie Rock cocktail, So I'll say it again, they were still ahead of their time.

So there you go! Besides, it is NEVER too late to discover wonderful art like this.

Tone shaping requires much time, as Richard G aptly notes. That, and a solid signal path, ending in those lovely Roland amplifiers. The ability for band members to perpetually adjust tone and dynamic to meet each other's efforts is a skill set only made available by effort, patience, and time together. I adore everything about this band and their work. I wish them happiness, for that's what they've presented to me.

Neil said I was too young for that and had a laugh. Chris was also too lovely when I first tried to approach him while the stupid security guy would yell at me saying "Go away!".

[@punker-gamer-trucker-guy]

Luana Melo I'm glad younger generations are finding this great music! Especially Slowdive who never got the recognition they deserved, massively overshadowed by My Bloody Valentine, who I also enjoy but don't like nearly as much as Slowdive. They take shoegaze to more somber and subtle territories rather than shredding my ear drums. There's so much air and space in their songs that make them even more powerful than mbv heaviest and loudest material. When slowdive does come up from a whisper to a shout, its majestic and beautiful. Quite often, less is more and Slowdive is a prime example of how that works. Also, check out Beach House if you haven't. Very similar vibes, especially their Bloom record and on.

Slowdive has been in my life for 30+ years now, when I discovered their music, I was a hardcore raver, the Madchester scene was over, and rave music was splitting off in all directions. but slowdive would keep me grounded, even when high as a kite! Someone mentioned these were ahead of their time, oh how I do agree with that sentiment, they were so ahead of every other band, they may have been a part of Madchester scene, but their heads and shoulders above their peers, the Charlatans, Inspiral tribe etc, no group can do dreamy like slowdive, not really, they try but, it falls short every time, but not slowdive, they deliver every time!

U2 was mentioned before. As for me, the music of U2 is the very soundtrack of my live for I’m listening to them since their first album in 1980 - I was 15 at this time. The sound of Slowdive however has a quality of its own and I like it very much. For me it’s a really really nice complement, not to say an enrichment in addition to the sound of U2. The songs that are performed here remind me dearly on U2’s Album “The Unforgettable Fire”. What a joy to have discovered Slowdive. 😊

So glad they did Crazy for you

[@Vorago_]

Same, this rendition was perfect as well!

[@777pusher]

Recently exposed to Slowdive. This is a marvelous group of musicians!!! I’m a big CTwins, and Ulrich Schnaus fan, and this glory bridges the gap!! Thank you so much!!!

[@Mindphaser1]

Slowdive were a major inspiration for Ulrich Schnauss. He even covered Crazy for You on his debut album.

[@heilapaulino7602]

Their sound is soft and blue and cloudy and far away.

That slomo performance is one of the best live performances I’ve ever heard

[@LuisOliva95]

Slowdive (and many other shoegaze bands from the 90's) helped me a lot back in 2020 in the days of the lockdown and everything surrounding covid. Thank you for this amazing pieces of art.

[@sylvandelacruz]

This sounds so great. Broadly speaking, there aren't any bands like this around anymore. Even though I've know about them for years, I'm just discovering their musical catalogue now, and that's one of the great things about music.

[@helpfulcommenter]

sure there's bands like this around what are you talking about? i mean, like what exactly do you mean "bands like this" anyway? bands with a unique sound in dreamy fuzzy ambient tones? british bands? shoegaze bands? now if they'd just play some Mojave 3 songs on tour I'd be even more happy

[@mattlangley2184]

I just discovered them. I can’t believe I never heard there music before. I love it! I guess better late than never.

[@clyrogrumper]

Brilliant. Hearing this is like meeting up with an old friend, forgot all about them but as soon as you meet you immediately click.

[@Loren_Law]

I really love it when a band comes back after years and puts out a killer record.

[@zimbraundertone4075]

Slomo is such a beautiful song, brings tears to my eyes every time I take a road, I say goodbye to someone Give me your heart It’s a curious thing

[@cyberraisin]

This set is a brilliant example of perfection.

[@asweet23]

Incredible version of Slowmo, absolutely epic and brilliant

[@ericdeforest3811]

Great return album from Slowdive. Great performance here.

[@bluesparkgaming2883]

these nostalgic ambient indie pieces are keeping me alive

[@andrewhillis2269]

Wonderful wall of sound, and kudos to KEXP sound guys👏

[@TheConquistor]

slowdive are refreshing. So authentic, humble.. unpretentious.. they're still 20 years old inside and are just loving the music. that's more than anyone can ask for

[@idlesun1645]

this is so magical, every song feels like flying in the sunset

[@WhiteNoiseSpot]

I'm from that younger generation of fans and really proud to listen this band

As beautiful as ever. A very welcome return.
