Exclusive: Lily Gladstone is set to reteam with Morrisa Maltz on Jazzy, a companion piece and follow-up to their acclaimed indie drama The Unknown Country, released by Music Box Films, which brought Gladstone a Gotham Award last fall. In addition to starring, Gladstone will exec produce, along with the team at Duplass Brothers Productions.
While The Unknown Country followed Gladstone’s character — the grieving Tana — on a lonely road trip across America, it also introduced the scene-stealing character of Jazzy, based on and played by Jasmine Bearkiller Shangreaux, a young Oglala Lakota girl growing up in South Dakota. The roles are flipped in Jazzy, with Shangreaux taking center stage and Gladstone supporting her narrative journey. Shot over six years, the film sees Jazzy and her peers grow up on camera as they navigate the space between childhood and young adulthood. When her best friend moves away, Jazzy experiences both a...

Thirty years after Slowdive’s Souvlaki helped define the shoegaze movement, Everything Is Alive, the band’s fifth studio album and second since regrouping in 2014, finds them trading their signature tremolo-soaked guitars for crisp, modulated synths, resulting in an uncharacteristically polished sound. Flashes of unrefined haze still manage to work their way into the songs, though, pointing to the album’s primary theme: the duality between old and new.
There’s always been a superhuman quality to Slowdive’s music. Rachel Goswell’s and Neil Halstead’s vocals meld so harmoniously that they often sound like they’re coming from a single person—“I know you dream of snowfields/Floating high above the trees,” they sing on “Kisses,” yearning for new beginnings—while Christian Savill’s guitars constitute a voice all its own. Bassist Nick Chaplin and drummer Simon Scott introduce a layer of tonal depth and texture, and this...

Slowdive are counting down to the release of their forthcoming album everything is alive on September 1st via Dead Oceans, and they’re giving another preview with the single “the slab.”
While the previous singles Slowdive have shared ahead of everything is alive stayed more in line with their usual schtick of hushed, jangly dream-pop, “the slab” is bigger and bolder, filtering a healthy dose of wall-of-sound guitars with atmospheric production — and just as much reverb as you would expect.
“This is the heaviest track on the record and as the name suggests we wanted it to feel like a big slab of music,” vocalist/guitarist Neil Halstead explains in a press release. “We wanted it to feel very dense.” Stream “the slab” below.
“the slab” follows previous singles “skin in the game” and “kisses,” the latter of which was named Consequence’s Song of the Week. Slowdive are also...

Tana, the compassionate protagonist of The Unknown Country, is asked about her plans at one point in the movie and answers with a slightly embarrassed smile: “Just kinda floatin.’ ” Cut loose from the day-to-day by the death of her grandmother and far from home, Tana might not have a specific itinerary, but, mile by mile in what will turn out to be a 2,000-mile journey, she’s searching, in her guarded way, and open to possibilities. Lily Gladstone inhabits the role with warmth and deep wells of feeling, striking nuanced notes in Tana’s watchful solitude as well as her interactions. The people Tana meets during her travels include characters played by actors and real-life locals playing themselves, and the quiet but stirring effect is a dreamscape of eye-opening geography, existential longing and the enduring workaday.

Slowdive have released new song “Skin in the Game.” It’s their second single off of their forthcoming album Everything Is Alive, following “Kisses.”
“I won’t know and you won’t say it now,” Neil Halstead sings on the contemplative track. “’Cause you don’t say and I will never ask.” The gauzy song is accompanied by a spiraling visualizer.
Everything Is Alive is the shoegaze icons’ first studio album since 2017’s eponymous LP, which marked their first LP in 22 years. It arrives on Sept. 1 via Dead Oceans.

Just under a month removed from the announcement of their new, forthcoming studio album, Slowdive have returned with another new single: a reflective, dreamy track entitled “skin in the game.” Watch the visualizer for the song below.
Anchored by Neil Halstead’s forlorn vocals, “skin in the game” captures the hazy beauty and reflective soundscapes that Slowdive have been celebrated for purveying since they first debuted. This time around, the overlapping layers of acoustics and processed electric guitars blend effortlessly with Halstead’s vocals as he sings lyrics like “I won’t know and you won’t say it now/ ‘cos you don’t say and I will never ask.” Listen to the song below.
Last month, Slowdive announced that their fifth studio album, everything is alive, will drop on September 1st via Dead Oceans. Alongside the announcement, they unveiled the LP’s first single, “kisses,” which was named Consequence’s Song of the Week.

Slowdive have revealed that their recently-completed fifth album, everything is alive, will arrive on September 1st via Dead Oceans. The announcement comes with a fresh slate of 2023 tour dates (get tickets here) as well as the LP’s first single “kisses.”
Production on the album began as far back as Fall 2020, with the British quintet recording across the UK over the next two years. It was produced by lead guitarist-songwriter Neil Halstead and partially recorded in his home studio, while six of the eight tracks were mixed by Grammy-winning engineer Shawn Everett.
“There were some profound shifts for some of us personally,” vocalist-guitarist Rachel Goswell shared in a statement, alluding to the 2020 passing of her mother and drummer Simon Scott’s father, both to whom the album is dedicated. “Those crossroads are reflected in the many-layered emotional tenor of Slowdive’s music; everything is alive is heavy with experience, but each note is poised,...

Slowdive have completed work on their first new album in six years.
Neil Halstead confirmed the news during an appearance on the podcast SixPack, which the band re-posted to their Instagram page.
Halstead said he provided “a lot” of the demos for this album. “Some of the stuff I bought in was very electronic based, because that’s where I’m coming from sometimes,” he explained. “And then it will work its way back to being an indie, guitar thing. We end up meeting in a place where everyone is happy.”
Slowdive released their self-titled fourth album in 2017. It marked the band’s first release in 22 years, following their reunion in 2014.
Later this month, Slowdive will travel to Australia for a series of shows. They’re also scheduled to appear at the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan. You can find tickets to their upcoming gigs here.
