Slowdive - everything is alive

everything is alive is the fifth studio album released by shoegaze giant Slowdive in 6 years since their self-titled album, which is dedicated to Goswell’s mother and Scott’s father, who both died in 2020.

The album was based on a home-produced demo by lead singer and guitarist Neil Halstead. It was originally planned to be enhanced by band members in April 2020, but then shelved due to the coronavirus pandemic. Six months later, they were able to meet at Courtyard Studio and began a two-year stint of recording. Fast forward to February 2022, the band engaged Shawn Everett (The War on Drugs, SZA, Alvvays) to remix six of the record’s eight tracks.
