Slowdive - skin in the game (Official Visualizer)

[@kp-rv3ui]

It must be a crazy feeling to make a comeback after 20 years and have basically a whole new fanbase waiting for you. Such a timeless sound

[@deepfocus888]

100%. Well deserved for all they have forged.

[@trevordoolan5011]

It's not wholly new ! Been here for 33 years already. Still have all the old vinyls to prove it, crackle & pops 'n' all... .

[@pgbear]

A very perceptive comment. I agree totally. I don't think it's a common thing to return after so long and, as you say, find that your fan base has grown bigger and younger in those intervening years.

[@BillyTheBlueBoy]

@@trevordoolan5011been a fan since 90. My 20 year old now loves them too.

[@paolo-n2000]

It says A LOT about the lack on interesting young musicians / young bands / creating RAD music today...

[@BiyekCat]

Summer has been blessed by mighty Slowdive.

[@yasssmilan]

Definitely!

Summer… and all of our lives…We’re blessed for having this.. Seat down, and enjoy… 🤘🏻👽

[@drsnyzasveceny]

I absolutely adore this feeling. When you listen to the brand new music for the first time, having goosebumps and knowing you will be listening this many times more...

[@tonight0000]

Adore it

[@maiqtheliar_]

It's fascinating how their songs are architected... it starts melancholically welcoming, and then the climax hits and you are overwhelmed with feelings. I love this band so much.

[@SamplingPercussion]

Keep posing, poser new jack.

I love slowdive.The vibe of the new stuff is like a fever dream in purgatory.

[@mennis-m7m]

Sorry but thats a nice feeling? A fever dream? IN PURGATORY???? I mean whatever u think is nice but to me that just sounds like the fifth circle of hell tbh

[@nirudangaragoda5286]

I have never been so excited to listen to some new music in such a long time until now. I'm a new slowdive fan, maybe a week old. Some guy in a discord group sent me 'sleep' to listen to and I fell in love instantly with your music. Since then I've been exploring the rest your work and I cherished every second of it. I feel giddy with excitement just by the thought of my new journey with slowdive. I'm so happy. I don't know any other way to explain it. SLOWDIVE RULES!!!

[@internalpowers3823]

You've been spoiled starting on Sleep! It's an absolute gem of a recording that one!

[@naksu444]

A week old slowdive fan? 😮

[@nirudangaragoda5286]

@@naksu444Yeah, I'm new to their music. But I sure do love their music by my heart!

@@nirudangaragoda5286 yeah it was a joke, like you were born a week ago :D

[@MoultrieGeek]

I felt the same way the first time I heard Avalyn I and II and I've been a fan for life ever since. Welcome to Slowdive.

[@kevinarriola1742]

Long live to Shoegaze and dreampop

[@shoegazer93]

Wall of sound is back. I love the gritty distortion in there, mixed in with the ambient reverb and delay

[@mariobonenfant5177]

Neil Halstead’s sublime vocals float above wall-of-sound guitars and echo-laden drums.

[@adamsmith307]

Er, were you listening to the same song. The drums have very little reverb on them.

[@srinivass2793]

This track makes me feel like I'm listening to both Star Roving & Sugar for the Pill at the same time.

[@nnikaa3]

YES

[@jallen911]

It reminds me a lot of no longer making time

[@ErnestoM.]

@@jallen911 Thats because there is a "recycled" little riff. At around the 2min mark of No longer making time, if you listen closley, there is a 2 note riff, which is the same this song uses throughout the entirety of the song.

[@anotherflix]

Same!!

[@GreggValue]

You are correct. It's that riff that plays after the chorus of No Longer Making Time right before it goes back into the verse@@ErnestoM.

[@bhamacuk]

Gorgeous dreamy textures. reminds me of when I first heard morningrise in 90, my lost youth!

[@papercitypauper8746]

I would have never thought back then that this band would reform when I was in my 40s and I would love the new as much as the old.

[@bhamacuk]

@@papercitypauper8746 funny thing is they're more successful now than back then. And they haven't lost anything over time. Great isn't it!

[@alexjbennett1017]

@@bhamacuk guess they were ahead of their time back then? They must be so committed to their art.

[@scottanthonyweidner8692]

The second and third EPs were untouchably great

[@SiL-uj2zl]

Absolutely 💯 like Morningrise especially the instrumental guitar parts

[@davidtollefson8411]

I have loved this band for over thirty years. So appreciative of them continuing to make such beautiful music. To see them so popular with new fans truly touches my heart.

[@CristobalOlate]

This song takes you to a cozy place, but at the same time melancholic. A big hug from Chile

[@jimpayne9545]

Melanchozy -- the combination of melancholy and cozy -- and your description is exactly how Slowdive has been making me feel since I discovered them around the time of their Souvlaki release, thanks to a wonderful college station that had the good sense to play a couple of their songs!

[@AlbaneJourdain]

Softly addictive.

[@somewherecoldrecords8876]

Every Slowdive track makes the world a better place.

[@TheCapnskippy]

Slowdive and a Visualizer, making me revisit 1996 in the best possible ways.

[@mirrorinsideout]

Gives me nostalgia for early times listening to music with Winamp and its visualizer

[@daniellaurent11]

Crazy....I saw you live in 1993 and would never have thought I would be listening to new music from you in 2023!

[@namuunbilg]

When this song was first released,I met my first love.All the emotions I experienced from him hold a special place in my heart. Memories of that time are captured in this song.(Our relationship has become indestructible)❤️

[@Nowheremovies]

glad to see the legends still got it

[@Prizzy999]

This is exactly the kind of music I need these days. Makes me feel nostalgic and brand new at the same time. It's like being 25 again, but with more wisdom and less heartbreak 😊❤

[@umdistrict]

С этой прекрасной группой я пережил тяжёлый и эмоциональный этап моей жизни и это меня закалило. Я слежу за новыми релизами и я счастлив, что эта группа продолжает дарить нам волшебное звучание, подобное снам, где пространство искажается и это дарит приятные мистические ощущения. Слоудайв - это целый мир, который существует внутри меня, и эта группа умеет выразить то, что поёт внутри меня. Я знаю, что многие не поймут это звучание, но как же я рад, что моя душевная, психологическая, интеллектуальная организация способна воспринимать и оценивать эту музыку. изменено: спасибо, Хасан, что познакомил меня с их творчеством. С тех пор прошло несколько лет, но ты остаёшься моим хорошим и близким другом, несмотря на то, что мы почти не общаемся.

[@goatnamese]

Still goosebumps after 25 years. Slowdive songs describe the world I came from before incarnation.

[@lemurdream]

I've loved Slowdive since Just For A Day came out. I even wrote a review for a Slowdive fanzine of the California shows on the Souvlaki tour. (Which I also bootlegged. haha) I was gutted when they broke up after Pygmalion. It's such a wonderful time when we get to enjoy brand new Slowdive music here in 2023. Low Five for Slowdive.

[@iconnelly]

Nothing has burned my ears off the way those shows at The Edge and The Catalyst did!

[@dylliesdad]

Neil Halstead is such an underrated musical genius. He can do no wrong, musically.

[@chhansen]

omg, give it to me intravenously! amazing and timeless! just as good and i would propose even better than the 90s. and they clearly were the best of the 90s,. with this track, i'm feeling that headswirl reminiscent of "Just For A Day", but the sound is obviously better and so much more developed. the fact that each of their albums sound better than the previous (imho) is just a testament to the amazing talent here. btw this slowdive comeback has rekindled my mojave 3 listening too and, quite honestly, i would love a mojave 3 comeback as well. a different but equally wonderful and satisfying listening experience. basically anything this band does is just completely amazing and will be treasured music for many years to come. thank you to all of the band members for continuing to make amazing music...

So excited to listen SLOWDIVE again, one of my favorite bands of all-time!. With "Skin In The Game", the second amazing single from their brand new album "Everything Is Alive" (2023), they return triumphantly to their roots but in a very different way and very much in keeping with the times. I wrote these words some time ago, hope you enjoy: "SLOWDIVE, Shoegaze pioneers, shows us a band that is able to insert itself and face a new context. At the same time it has elements of new bands to be more contemporary adapting themselves to this millenium in an intelligent way. It can also be defined as a process of mutual feedback between the previous and subsequent, the veterans and the youngers"...an awesome comeback to the recording studios after six years since their incredible fourth album "Slowdive" (2017)...❤🔥🎉...
