The production of the record started in autumn 2020, as the band made public at the time. The British quintet recorded across the UK over the next two years and was produced by lead guitarist and songwriter Neil Halstead. Shawn Everett mixed six of the eight tracks.

More about EVERYTHING IS ALIVE

“There have been some profound changes for some of us personally,” singer/guitarist Rachel Goswell said in a statement, alluding to the deaths of her mother and drummer Simon Scott’s father in 2020, whom the new work is dedicated to is.

“These crossroads are reflected in the multi-layered emotional tenor of Slowdive’s music; everything is alive and heavy with experience, but each note is balanced, wise, and absolutely hopeful. Her unique alchemy subtly embodies both sadness and gratitude, earthiness and uplifting.”

The track listing:

  • 01. “shanty”
  • 02. “prayer remembered”
  • 03. “alife”
  • 04. “andalucia plays”
  • 05. “kiss”
  • 06. skin in the game
  • 07. “chained to a cloud”
  • 08. “The Slab”
