A couple of weeks ago, famed shoegaze band Slowdive released “Star Roving,” their first new song in 22 years, and it seemed the group hadn’t missed a beat. The band dissolved following the release of their third album, Pygmalion, in 1995, but returned to the stage together in 2014, and “Star Roving” serves as the first taste of a new album that’s in the works.
“Star Roving” seems to indicate that Slowdive may be able to pull off what My Bloody Valentine did back in 2013, delivering a knockout album after such a long time away. While fans still have to wait for more details on the album, today the band announced a handful of North American dates in early May with their Dead Oceans labelmates Japanese Breakfast, who landed spots on Paste’s best albums and best new artists of 2016 lists.
