What? Another obscure Slowdive song? Really, Lawrence? Really?
Yep.
Evidently this was originally an Eternal song, Eternal being the band Christian Savill was in before Slowidve.

Either you like this sort of thing or you don’t….
I think it gets better the deeper into the song you get.
“Trail of Lights” is a lush, laid-back, multilayered Shoegaze piece from Scottish/Italian duo My Violent Ego.
Black Hearted Brother is a project featuring Slowdive’s Neal Halstead. Here they are with “(I Don’t Mean to) Wonder”.
Also, evidently the Judge Dredd remake has some impressive slow-motion set-pieces…
And the Slowdive cover kick continues, with Indonesia’s Jellybelly doing their cover of “Machine Gun” in a jangly live performance.
Here’s Fresno, California’s The Sleepover Disaster with “Oceanographer,” which sounds a tiny bit like Radiohead.
The sound quality is not the best, and the vocals pretty much suck, but this cover by Alcian Blue (AKA The Antiques) is still the best live cover of “Primal” I’ve heard from anyone (including Slowdive, who only played it at early shows, and not particularly well).
Like I’ve said before, anyone doing good cover of “Primal” will get linked in this space.
As for Slowdive, their new tour shows their live shows have improved considerably, as we shall see next Sunday…
The Swells were an Austin-based Shoegaze band. Here they are with “Golden.”
Evidently they’re now known as Seaholm Electric.
Here’s “Shine,” another one from Zurich’s SummeryMay. The best description I can come up with for them is “Imagine a Christian shoegaze Night Ranger that doesn’t suck.” People I told this too were having some trouble wrapping their heads around the concept…
Sugar Plant are on the softer end of Japanese Shoegaze. Here they are with “Rise.”
Their Happy EP (which includes “Rise”) is available from iTunes.
