Slowdive Crafts Contemplative, Immersive Album
Slowdive’s album everything is alive feels like an experience. It‘s the kind of album that would accompany a video art exhibit or some experimental yoga class. Like many shoegaze tracks, listeners don’t have to pay close attention to the songs to enjoy them—there aren’t many catchy choruses to sing along to or strong bass lines to follow—but people still … [Read more...] about Slowdive Crafts Contemplative, Immersive Album
