The visual treatment of Slowdive’s “Don’t Know Why” is a video in three parts, released by the band today via Apple Music, that give us a sense of Slowdive’s timelessness as we wait for the reunited members to dive into the frame on a burnt-orange sun beam.
“This video is less about logic and more about a feeling. It’s a triptych about memory, about being lost and abandoned,” says director Grant Singer. He goes on to add that Slowdive has been his favorite band since he was a kid, although he’s gotten to work with other superstar acts such as The Weeknd, Lorde and Ariana Grande.
In our review of Slowdive, the group’s first album in 22 years, Zach Schonfeld writes that “all the central ingredients of Souvlaki are present—Goswell’s ghostly vocals, the dense walls of processed guitars, an almost narcotic air of dreaminess. It’s a sound that’s commonly imitated, but rarely done this well.”
