In an interview with The Quietus singer Neil Halstead – who is also featured on the new ALCEST album Shelter – tells about the current state: “I’m super excited. We had our first rehearsal last week, which was fun. We were surprisingly good. Quite a few of the songs came back quickly.” And it might even result in actual new SLOWDIVE material.
According to Halstead it was the original idea. And he might even has a financial plan behind it. “We thought it would be good if we could raise a bit of money to make the record, and doing a couple of gigs would enable us to do that. And that’s the way it shaped up – while we’re rehearsing we can see if we’ve got another record in us.” We’ll keep you updated – in the meantime enjoy a classic.
