UK shoegaze pioneers Slowdive are pleased to announce their self-titled fourth album, out May 5th via Dead Oceans. Their debut album, Just For A Day, was released in 1991 by Creation Records, and was followed by the band's now revered 1993 album Souvlaki and 1995's Pygmalion before they disbanded. In the 22 years of their virtual disappearance, compilation albums have been released and the core members of the group have gone on to join other musical endeavors. In 2014, the band announced that theyd reunited and more new music would follow. Slowdive's stargazing alchemy is set to further entrance the faithful while beguiling a legion of fresh ears. These eight new tracks, simultaneously expansive and the band's most direct material to date, deftly swerve away from any "trip down memory lane." They were birthed at the band's talismanic Oxfordshire haunt, The Courtyard, and mixed at Los Angeles' famed Sunset Sound by Chris Coady (Beach House).
