Slowdive share "alife" as the final single from their forthcoming album
Slowdive present the final single from their forthcoming album, everything is alive, and announce brand new UK tour dates for 2024.
"alife" follows on from recent singles, "kisses", "skin in the game", and "the slab".
Nick Halstead reveals that it is "one of the first tunes we finished for the record. Shawn Everett did a really nice job with the mix. We tried so many times to figure out a good mix by ourselves and couldn’t do it . . . it sort of had us beaten until Shawn stepped in," he says.
"We decided if he could handle that one he could probably do the whole record. Our friend Jake Nelson did a really nice animation for this song; it takes some of the imagery from the artwork and digs a little deeper into that."
February 2024 sees the band kick off a brand new UK tour across Brighton, Birmingham, Norwich, Manchester, Cardiff, and Glasgow, including a date at London's Eventim Apollo.
Slowdive's fifth studio album, everything is alive, arrives on 1 September via Dead Oceans, and is available to pre-order.
