Shoegaze legends Slowdive have released the newest offering from their upcoming LP everything is alive, out September 1 via Dead Oceans. “skin in the game” is a cinematic, universe-spanning lamentation; a swirling, cathartic exorcism of impossible feeling. Lyrically and sonically poetic, it’s a reminder of the beauty of Slowdive’s quieter side, simultaneously subdued and poignant. The instrumental perfectly wraps around Neil Halstead’s levitating vocal and Rachel Goswell’s euphoric harmonies.
