About
Slowdive (stylized in lowercase) is an English rock band that formed in Reading, Berkshire, in 1989. The band consists of Neil Halstead (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Rachel Goswell (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Christian Savill (guitars), Nick Chaplin (bass guitar), and Simon Scott (drums, guitars, electronics), all of whom played on the band's early records. Halstead is the band's primary songwriter.
After releasing several EPs, the band released debut album Just for a Day (1991) and follow up Souvlaki (1993), making the band one of the leading figures of the UK shoegaze scene of the early 1990s. The group broke up soon after the release of their third studio album, Pygmalion, in 1995, having seen Scott, Savill and Chaplin depart the band prior. The remaining members continued under a more folk and country-influenced direction as Mojave 3.
Slowdive reunited in 2014 to play the Primavera Sound festival and released a self-titled studio album in 2017, their first in 22 years. The band's fifth studio album, Everything Is Alive, was released in 2023 and became Slowdive's first top ten album in any country, doing so in Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

Slowdive est un groupe britannique de dream pop et shoegazing formé en 1989. Il signe un contrat avec le label Creation d'Alan McGee qui publie trois albums. En 1995, Creation ne souhaitant pas conserver le groupe, certains membres du groupe (Goswell, Halstead et McCutcheon) forment alors Mojave 3.
Le style musical du groupe appartient clairement au mouvement shoegazing, tout du moins sur les deux premiers albums. Pygmalion est plus dépouillé et plus électronique, mais les morceaux du groupe restent malgré tout très mélancoliques. Le groupe se reforme en 2014 pour une série de concerts et l'élaboration d'un quatrième album qui sort en mai 2017. Le 1er septembre 2023, le groupe sort son 5ème album, Everything is alive et entame une tournée mondiale.
