alife by Slowdive

Slowdive will be releasing their much anticipated next album, everything is alive, on September 1st, 2023 from Dead Oceans. alife is the latest example from it. The song is a profoundly melancholic shoegaze song which comes with a creative animated visual.

Neil Halstead describes the new song and video: “alife is one of the first tunes we finished for the record. Shawn Everett did a really nice job with the mix. We tried so many times to figure out a good mix by ourselves and couldn’t do it . . . it sort of had us beaten until Shawn stepped in. We decided if he could handle that one he could probably do the whole record. Our friend Jake Nelson did a really nice animation for this song; it takes some of the imagery from the artwork and digs a little deeper into that.”
