Slowdive's Neil Halstead joins Kyle Meredith to talk about everything is alivethe band's second album since reforming in 2013 and one of our favorite LPs of 2023.
The frontman talks about how the LP originated from a collection of 40 electronic instruments, using the same studio since its inception (which has had the same couch for over 30 years), and how he writes with mood in mind. . Sometimes that mood includes being inspired by The Cure: “We just did some shows with The Cure, you know, we're all big Cure fans since we were kids,” he explains. “They have these amazing pop songs, and then they have great, drawn-out things, you know, things like 'A Forest' that go on and on.”
Halstead also talks about how she resurrected “Andalucia Plays” from her early 2010s solo work, how her love of '60s pop finds its way into “Kisses” and “Alife,” and the wealth of unreleased sounds in his vault. He also talks about what it was like to score The unknown country starring Lily Gladstone.
