Our guests today are shoegaze legends Slowdive. Formed in Reading, England in 1989, the iconic five-piece helped shape the genre’s soundscape with their seminal 1993 record Souvlaki. After reforming in 2014, they’ve continued to tour and create new music—most recently with their critically acclaimed 2023 album everything is alive. Following a successful Australian tour that same year, the band returns to our shores later this month. In today’s episode, we’re joined by bassist Nick Chaplin to talk about their upcoming shows, the creative journey behind everything is alive, and how the record has resonated with fans. We also reflect on the band’s past visits to Australia, the enduring influence of shoegaze, and the joy of connecting with a new generation of listeners around the world.
