slowdive The fifth album from shoegaze giants Slowdive contains the duality of a familiar internal language mixed with the exaltation of new beginnings. everything is alive is transportive, searching and aglow, the work of a classic band continuing to pitch its unmistakable voice to the future. Six years after the groups monumental self-titled album, everything is alive finds Slowdivevocalists and guitarists Rachel Goswell and Neil Halstead, guitarist Christian Savill, bassist Nick Chaplin, and drummer Simon Scottlocating evermore contours of its immersive, elemental sound. The new record began with Halstead in the role of writer and producer, working on demos at home. Experimenting with modular synths, Halstead originally conceived of everything is alive as a more minimal electronic record. Slowdives collective decision-making ultimately drew the group back towards their signature reverb-drenched guitars, but that first concept seeped into the compositions. As a band, when were all happy with it, that tends to be the stronger material, Halstead says. Weve always come from slightly different directions, and the best bits are where we all meet in the middle. The convergence of five unique characters has made the sound. Slowdive is very much the sum of its parts, Goswell adds. Something unquantifiable happens when the five of us come together in a room.
