Video info:
Slowdive is a band with a sound and history unlike any other. Formed in Reading just before the 90s the band consisted of key members and teenage couple Rachel Goswell and Neil Halstead in addition to a revolving line-up that became more consistent over time. The band experienced early success and got recognition for being a great shoegaze band. Unfortunately they lost the attention almost as quickly as they gained it with the rise of more popular music like grunge and brit-pop. Their one shot at appealing to an evermore critical audience and press was their second album Souvlaki. And if facing pressure from their label and press wasn’t enough, the band was about to collapse. Goswell and Halstead broke up their relationship just before they started to work on the album. And neither of them knew how to function as a newly separated couple in a professional band. Because of this, making Souvlaki lead to isolation, even bigger let-downs, unexpected collaborations and a new beginning.
