Recently-reunited shoegazers Slowdive have offered up a new mix for FACT Magazine.

The 22-song mix follows on from a previous one for Dazed, featuring tracks by My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, Cocteau Twins, Swans, Brian Eno, The Cure, The Smiths, Spiritualized and more.

“Maybe some of the more well known choices, such as The Smiths, Sonic Youth, The Byrds and Brian Eno for example, are pretty obvious to listeners but they are also great songs by some of our favourite artists that had a profound influence on us all as aspiring musicians,” said of the collection. “We still think all these songs sound amazing and important to Slowdive as a band.”
