#2102 Slowdive - Souvlaki

Despite some indulgences in the big Ride/MBV shoegaze guitars, Slowdive shows a quieter, more nuanced side of the scene. The wall of sound shimmers with frail details, the loud moments interspersed with airy, reverb-soaked passages - - spare guitar lines and voices floating out in space - - the whole album twists in place, never touching the ground 3.5/5
