Happy Friday Earthlings,
UK Shoegaze senseis Slowdive surprises us with their first official song release in over 22 years! Newly signed to record label Dead Oceans, “Star Roving” picks up where 1995’s Pygmalion left off in regards to their classic shimmery Britpop sound. The band’s original lineup (Neil Halstead, Christian Savill, Rachel Goswell, Nick Chaplin and Simon Scott) reunited in 2014. They’ve been working on a full length project ever since, and from what we hear with the new single, it won’t disappoint their cult fanbase! You can snag a digital copy of the single here. Visit their website and label Dead Oceans for updates on this spectacular comeback.
Sweet thing, I watch you
Burn so fast it scares me
Mind games don’t leave me
I’ve come so far, don’t lose me
It matters where you are
As the sun hits, she’ll be waiting
With her coffins under heaven
Hey hey, lover, you still burn me
You’re a sun yeah, hey hey
Sweet thing, I watch you
You burn so fast it scares me
Mind games don’t lose me
I’ve come so far, don’t lose me
It matters where you are
As the sun hits, she’ll be waiting
With her coffins under heaven
Hey hey lover you still burn me
You’re a sun yeah, hey hey
Sweet thing, I watch you, burn away
Sweet thing, I watch you, burn away
Sweet thing, I watch you, burn away
