According to Rayna Khaitan: “With the delightful surprise of Slowdive’s 2014 tour, we dared to hope for something more. And finally, 22 years after their last proper album alights the self-titled long-playing miracle, Slowdive....Transcendence, it seems, comes easy in the world of Slowdive. For now, in 2017, we’re in an unfathomable era of political atrocities and digital abundance, and yet it only takes seconds for Slowdive’s sonic wizardry to captivate your mind and catapult you off into realms blissfully uncharted....where we’d once accepted Slowdive’s absence as a dismal reality, their revival has rendered me vulnerable again, desperately craving more.”
