British shoegaze/dream pop band Slowdive have unleashed their new single “Skin in the Game” and its accompanying visuals.
It’s the second taste of their fifth studio album ‘Everything is Alive‘, dedicated to vocalist Rachel Goswell’s mother and drummer Simon Scott’s father who both died in 2020, set to arrive on September 1st via Dead Oceans. Pre-order your copy here.
