Slowdive

Slowdive was a shoegazer band formed in 1989, lasting until 1995. The band consisted of Rachel Goswell (vocals/guitar), Nick Chaplin (bass), Neil Halstead (vocals/guitar), Simon Scott (drums 90-94), Ian McCutcheon (drums 94-95), and Christian Savill (guitar). In 1995, the band recorded their final record, Pygmalion. A misunderstood and widely misinterpreted "ambient" record, it took the dreamy guitar sound and warm yet solemn tone of earlier Slowdive to a newer, more minimalist extreme. Neil Halstead continues to show off his songwriting skills in his post-breakup band, Mojave 3, while Rachel Goswell and Simon Scott record as solo artists.==Links To Peel== Slowdive were regularly played on Peel's shows between 1990 and 1991. However he did not play any of their later material after that period, due to the demise of the shoegazing scene and the rise of grunge and a few years later the Britpop movement.
