Slowdive share "Sugar for the Pill" remix; North American tour starts tonight

slowdive

Slowdive‘s new self-titled album is out this Friday (May 5) via Dead Oceans. It’s their first in 22 years and it’s a terrific, assured album — comeback or not — that stands up against everything they’ve ever done. They’ve just shared the “Avalon Emerson’s Gilded Escalation” remix of single “Sugar for the Pill” which strips away most of the guitars, adds a funky drummer and all manner of sonic filigree and ambient sounds. You can stream that remix, along with the original “Sugar for the Pill” and “Stargazing” below.

The band’s short North American tour with Japanese Breakfast starts tonight in St. Paul, MN and hit NYC early next week for two shows at Brookyn Steel. The 5/8 show is sold out but tickets are still available for the Tuesday, May 9 show.
