Sounds promising! Does this also mean new album? I've been a bit disconnected.

Yeah it's been in the can for a bit so clearly a release is finally near.

Nice, thanks!

Sounds absolutely great. The s/t remains hard to top as far as comeback albums go, and sometimes it's the slowdive I want to listen to the most.
― omar little, Friday, 16 June 2023 21:54 (ten months ago) link
Yeah the strength of that as well as the tour makes me very excited about this new one.

In unrelated news I bought a “cloud reverb” pedal and spent the morning blissfully playing “Rutti”, most fun I’ve had on a guitar in a while.

Also true for me, if only because I've listened to Souvlaki 67,354 times

new song is fine but nothing to be excited about, but that's also how i felt about the singles from the last album and the rest was much stronger

New song is so similar to 2017 album in production and effects that it could have been discarded material from those recording sessions. Not complaining at all, though, and looking very forward to the new LP.

In the last couple of years, I've found myself listening to the self-titled far more than I have the classics. Excited for the tour, I think they sound better now than they ever did then.

Seconding that. The only other band of their time that has had as equally a monumental second act like this has been Suede.
Tour dates! See you at the Warfield!

Swervedriver also came back really strong, to name another "shoegaze" act of their time more or less.
