Slowdive

Formed in 1989, Slowdive was one of the key figures in the British shoegazer pop movement. As heard on their influential '91 debut album JUST FOR A DAY, the band's sound is full of ethereal vocals, gently overlapping waves of guitar, and an ambient production sensibility (ambient godfather Brian Eno himself co-produced the follow-up SOUVLAKI). After the group broke up in '95, Rachel Goswell and Neil Halstead re-emerged with the similarly inclined Mojave 3, though both subsequently tried their hand at solo careers.
