Slowdive is a British dream pop band formed in Reading, Berkshire, in 1989. The band's lineup consists of Rachel Goswell (vocals, guitar), Neil Halstead (vocals, guitar), Christian Savill (guitar), Nick Chaplin (bass), and Simon Scott (drums). Slowdive released three studio albums: "Just for a Day" (1991), "Souvlaki" (1993), and "Pygmalion" (1995), before disbanding in 1995. The band reunited in 2014 and has since released two more studio albums: "Slowdive" (2017) and "Star Roving" (2022).

Slowdive's music is characterized by its ethereal, dreamy soundscapes, which are created through the use of reverb-drenched guitars, layered vocals, and shimmering synths. The band's lyrics often explore themes of love, loss, and longing. Slowdive has been cited as an influence on a number of contemporary dream pop and shoegaze bands, including Beach House, DIIV, and The xx.

History

Slowdive was formed in 1989 by Rachel Goswell, Neil Halstead, and Christian Savill. The band's early sound was heavily influenced by the shoegaze scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Slowdive's debut album, "Just for a Day," was released in 1991 and was met with critical acclaim. The album's lead single, "Alison," became a minor hit in the UK.

Slowdive's second album, "Souvlaki," was released in 1993 and is considered by many to be the band's masterpiece.

"Souvlaki" was a critical and commercial success, and it helped to establish Slowdive as one of the leading bands of the dream pop movement.

Slowdive's third album, "Pygmalion," was released in 1995. The album was a departure from the band's previous work, and it featured a more experimental sound. "Pygmalion" was not as well-received as Slowdive's previous albums, and the band disbanded shortly after its release.

Slowdive reunited in 2014 and released their fourth studio album, "Slowdive," in 2017. The album was a critical and commercial success, and it helped to introduce Slowdive to a new generation of fans. Slowdive's fifth studio album, "Star Roving," was released in 2022.
