Slowdive perform ‘Sugar for the Pill’ in a Brooklyn shuffleboard parlor, announce fall tour

One of the great surprises of 2017 has been the recorded return of Slowdive. After a string of reunion tours that found the English guitar-rock band as sonically sharp as ever, Rachel Goswell and company upped the ante with last month’s excellent self-titled LP — the band’s first in 22 years.

Slowdive, the record, is something to behold; singles like the surging “Star Roving” and melancholic “Sugar for the Pill” emit that classic shoegazing sound, but album cuts like opener “Slomo” and the ethereal “No Longer Making Time” seamlessly connect the band back to their early days. In fact, “No Longer Making Time” might be one of the finest tracks released all year.

This morning (June 13), Slowdive revealed a fall North American tour through a spotlight with NPR, and the 17-date run hits Boston’s Paradise Rock Club on November 14.

For the NPR feature, Slowdive perform “Sugar For The Pill” at Royal Palms Shuffleboard parlor in Brooklyn, and you can watch video of that below.
