A month or so ago, I went over to my buddy Sean's place and found him staring at a YouTube video of a gal fooling around on a guitar. He had picked up his own guitar and had latched on to the groove. He said, "Hey, man, check this out!" I was like, "Wait -- I think I know that song! It's "Sugar for the Pill," by Slowdive...a Neil Halstead project..." He said, "Whoah. Slowdive? Neil who?" and the rabbit-hole opened..., A lot of weed was smoked, many beers were drunk, and Sean played guitar while I found the notes on his Yamaha keyboard as we explored and mapped the spacey sonic terrain. I then stumbled onto and recognized a similar progression I adore in "Wild Nothing" by Shadow, and that song blew Sean's mind, as well. and we grooved on that bliss a bit. We eventually came up with the start of an epic original I might have to call "Quantum Entangulation."  I dearly love how RP helps stimulate and enlighten me and my friends! Thanks!

This entire album is fantastic.

I feel like some tracks from the Disco Elysium soundtrack are a direct homage to Slowdive, and this album in particular.

Lovely song.  Reminds me of China Crisis a bit, has the same comforting vibe.

I really like the tranquility of this song.   It kind of has a Durutti Column vibe

Good tune! I never heard of them before. Thanx RP!

Reclining into a state of aural paradise with this track😊

I'm unabashedly loving this song.   Maybe because I'm part weasel

A furry creature sits down in a restaurant.
"What kind of varmint are you?" asks the waitress.
"I'm a weasel," he replies.
"Well, what would like to order, Mr. Weasel?" 
(wait for it). . . .
"Pop!" goes the weasel.

This is a great song, it's part of one of my Radio Paradise playlists. I've made several comprising of the most favorite songs RP has played over the years I've been listening. I work from home so having good background music is important.

Well, it *is* Halstead with another band. Or rather his first one. They were amazing in concert.

oh no not Beck.  I survived Cohen and Nilsson, but this is getting close to disaster. Brilliant music, but...

Best cut from that new album

Romantic, dreamy, visual, flowing. A new candidate for ear worm.  And good drinking music. I believe I will pour meself a Scotch from a Xmas bottle on a snowy day.

Bit Stone Rosesy bass start off.  Initially sounds neat but some more listens would be great to tell the differences from Catherine Wheel.

 
Catherine Wheel = awesome
Slowdive = awesome

You can hear Neil Halstead talking about how the song came about and was constructed here: https://songexploder.net/slowdive
Posted 8 years ago by Hungerdunger    [ Reply ]
Nice and dreamy.  I thought this group had disbanded - apparently they're back together.  Neil Halstead is a pretty talented guy.
Posted 8 years ago by Proclivities    [ Reply ]

Sugar for the pill - is this a birth control pill reference?

The tune is pretty chill, I like it, a 7 for now.  Thankfully, lyrics aren't my #1 priority when listening to music, otherwise this would be a 4 at best!
