Hello Lanaboards Community!
Today I would like to introduce you to a band that I think is absolutely worth listening to: Slowdive. This British rock band was formed in Reading, Berkshire in 1989 and consists of Rachel Goswell (vocals and guitar), Neil Halstead (vocals and guitar), Christian Savill (guitar), Nick Chaplin (bass) and Simon Scott (drums). Slowdive is known for their unique dream-pop and shoegaze sound, which enjoyed great popularity in the 1990s.
The band has released four studio albums, three compilation albums, five EPs, five singles and four music videos. Their debut album "Just for a Day" was released in 1991. Although it initially received mixed reviews, their second album "Souvlaki" is now considered one of the best albums of the 1990s and one of the greatest shoegaze albums of all time.
Slowdive disbanded in 1995, but reunited in 2014 and performed at the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona. Since then they have been active and released their self-titled album "Slowdive" in 2017.
Their sound is characterized by atmospheric harmonies, psychedelic guitar layers and ambient production. Influences range from folk rock to dub to ambient techno. The band members themselves name bands like Sonic Youth, Can, The Byrds and My Bloody Valentine as sources of inspiration.
Since we are all Lana Del Rey fans, I thought Slowdive might be an interesting addition to our musical discussions. You might like her dreamy sounds and fascinating melodies if you like Lana Del Rey's atmospheric songs.
In anticipation of their new single "Kisses" releasing in two days, check out some of their music on YouTube:
Let's discuss Slowdive here, share their albums, songs and influences, and maybe even find out if there's any overlap between Slowdive and Lana Del Rey fans. I look forward to hearing your opinions and thoughts!
Have fun exploring Slowdive! 🎶

Controversial, because it's a title track, but:

so it’s no secret that lana is a fan of the love story of priscilla and elvis presley. she’s channeled priscilla’s aesthetics all throughout her career, with her earlier looks providing a glamorous representation of her key characteristics - large bee hive hair, striking eyeliner, gorgeous jewellery.
Sofia Coppola’s 2023 film focusing on the life of the starlet has sparked rumors of lana being included in the film in some way. perhaps through a channeling of her haunting, though, darling sound of the born to die era ? or a stunning piano ballad crafted from her more recent musical feats ? personally, i’m excited to see if some of lana’s older songs are fit into the film, i feel that songs like ‘yayo’, ‘lucky ones’, ‘on our way’, ‘SYTH’, and ‘madly’ would fit perfectly

She deleted her social media. She doesn’t want any fan interaction I guess…

it's not the best idea ever (also a bit late), but I plan to give Lana a virtual card where she could just see expressed why we love her so much.
Maybe she will even see it, I only plan to upload it here. I'm not a graphic, so if anyone would like to make the card, don't hesitate to contact! But if you'd like to contribute, just write some things why you love her, or things you love about her.

Ok so y'all know how Taylor has a specific colour assigned for each of her albums? Do we have universally agreed-upon colours for each Lana album? If so, what are they?
Here's what I'm thinking (based on the album colours):

UV: black
HM: red/pink
LFL: teal
NFR: lime green
