Slowdive's self-titled record sparkles. The British shoegaze stalwarts sound fresh and inspired even after a 22-year hiatus. The music's dreamy and dissonant textures rival anything from the band's 90's alt-rock heyday. The song's are gorgeous and transportive, impeccably detailed and produced, showcasing a startling range in mood that usually flutters somewhere between Rachel Goswell's evocative register and Neil Halstead's ringing guitar. Check out opening track "Slomo," "Star Roving," "Sugar for the Pill," and every other giftworthy song.
