{"product_id":"slowdive-vinyl","title":"Slowdive [Vinyl]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe world has finally caught up with Slowdive. A band whose reach goes far beyond just influencing music is back, with their first new album in 22 years.The album is called Slowdive-- self-titled in an echo of their debut EP from 1990-- and is remarkably direct.\"We were always ambitious,\" says frontman Neil Halstead. \"Not in terms of trying to sell records, but in terms of making interesting records. Maybe, if you try and make interesting records, they're still interesting in a few years’ time.\"Now, in 2017, the record is ready and first single from which, \"Star Roving,\" shot to the top of the Billboard Trending 140 Chart.\"There’s a different energy about it,\" says drummer Simon Scott. \"It took ages to get back together and write songs and for it to click in the studio, but this album doesn't feel like a bolt-on -- it's got an energy that's as vibrant as Souvlaki and Just for a Day. It feels very relevant to now.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeftly swerving what co-vocalist\/guitarist Rachel Goswell terms \"a trip down memory lane,\" these eight new tracks are simultaneously expansive and the sonic pathfinders' most direct material to date. Birthed at the band's talismanic Oxfordshire haunt The Courtyard, their diamantine melodies were mixed to a suitably hypnotic sheen at Los Angeles' famed Sunset Sound facility by Chris Coady. \"It's poppier than I thought it was going to be,\" notes principal songwriter Neil Halstead, who was the primary architect of 1995's previous full-length transmission Pygmalion. This time out the group dynamic was all-important. \"When you're in a band and you do three records, there's a continuous flow and a development. For us, that flow re-started with us playing live again and that has continued into the record.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracks\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Disc 1 -\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 Slomo 6:53\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 Star Roving 5:38\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 Don't Know Why 4:36\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 Sugar for the Pill 4:30\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Disc 2 -\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 Everyone Knows 4:22\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 No Longer Making Time 5:48\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 Go Get It 6:09\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 Falling Ashes 8:00\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Slowdive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62532102095178,"sku":"656605143217","price":7.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1049\/2549\/5626\/files\/Slowdive---Slowdive-_Vinyl_-1689459662966.jpg?v=1782365405","url":"https:\/\/goldenspiraluk.com\/products\/slowdive-vinyl","provider":"Golden Spiral Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
