Slowdive Slowdive [Slipcase] *

"[H]ere, the songs are conspicuously stripped down -- lyrics are legible, guitars sound like. guitars. It's an approach they haven't really taken since their very first recordings..."
"[T]he effects-laden washes of sound came together into what might well have been the best work of their entire career."
"The album has moments of propulsive triumph, shimmering transcendence and calm beauty....The effects -- and the effects pedals -- are still dreamy."
Paste (magazine) - "The self-titled album manages to absorb elements from Slowdive's glory days without settling into mere retread. The lengthier, more expansive tracks are especially inspired."
Clash (Magazine) - "'Slomo' is a wonderful opening, the sound of preconceptions being picked apart....'Don't Know Why' is exquisite, a compact, concise piece of sighing melody and chiming guitar."
