Slowdive (EP)
1990 EP by Slowdive
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reception
According to The Rough Guide to Rock, Slowdive was released "to rapturous applause from the press".[2] Steve Lamacq of NME said the title track was "an atmospheric wash of watercolour guitars mixed in with some plaintive, impressionable vocals. Not quite as punishing as their demo, but it has a certain positively fresh-faced Bloody Valentine quality to it that swells with continued listening."[3]
In his retrospective review, Andy Kellman of AllMusic wrote "Slowdive's first release is their weakest effort, but it's still a good cluster of somnambulist soundscapes and inert sonic haze. They were definitely falling toward a mood-over-song structure at this point."[1]
