Slowdive have announced details of their first album 22 years – and details of a special, intimate gig tomorrow night (March 28).
The reformed shoegazers new album is eponymously titled and will be available on all the usual formats on May 5.
The band have also shared a video for a new track called ‘Sugar For The Pill’, which, according to their press release, is “a beautifully understated affair that is light years from the pulsating psych of ‘Star Roving’ but still unmistakably Slowdive”
The video has been produced by in/out and takes its inspiration from the album artwork which is itself a still from Harry Smith’s cult classic animation Heaven And Earth Magic.
You can check out the video here:
