Legendary ’90s shoegazers Slowdive released a new album, everything is alive, last September via Dead Oceans. Now they have announced some new fall 2024 U.S. tour dates in honor of the album. They go down this November. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. local time. Check them all out below.

Slowdive’s line-up remains Neil Halstead (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Christian Savill (guitar), Nick Chaplin (bass), Rachel Goswell (vocals), and Simon Scott (drums, electronics).

Read our interview with Slowdive about everything is alive.

Also pick up our current print issue, The ’90s Issue, to read our article on the early ’90s shoegaze movement, which includes quotes from Halstead (as well as members of Lush, Ride, Swervedriver, and Pale Saints).

Everything is alive was one of our Top 100 Albums of 2023. It is the band’s first new album in six years. Previously Slowdive shared the album’s first single, “kisses,” via a music video. “Kisses” was one of our Songs of the Week. Then they shared its second single, “skin in the game,” and third single, “the slab.” Both tracks made our Songs of the Week list in a special playlist we put together. The album’s fourth single, “alife,” was shared via an animated music video and also made our Songs of the Week list.

Halstead had this to say about the album in a previous press release: “It wouldn’t feel right to make a really dark record right now. The album is quite eclectic emotionally, but it does feel hopeful.”

Everything is alive is the band’s fifth album and the follow-up to 2017’s self-titled album, which was their first full-length album in 22 years and first since the band reformed. It was #4 on our Top 100 Albums of 2017 list.

Slowdive’s last album of their original run was 1995’s Pygmalion. Slowdive broke up that year, although some of the members went on to form Mojave 3. The band reformed in 2014 and began playing shows again.

We interviewed Slowdive’s Neil Halstead and Rachel Goswell in 2014 about the reunion and posted various articles on the band. Read our print magazine article on Slowdive’s reunion.
