Hear a new Slowdive song, “skin in the game”

Ingrid Pop

Slowdive recently announced the upcoming release of their fifth album, everything is alive, due out September 1 via Dead Oceans. Today, they’ve shared a new single from the album, “skin in the game,” a hypnotic and droning song with more than a little post-punk in its low-end pulse. Check it out below.

Slowdive’s last album was their 2017 self-titled album. Slowdive’s “Souvlaki Space Station” is featured on our list, A History of Shoegaze in 45 Essential Tracks.
