Outside Your Room EP by Slowdive
Outside Your Room EP is an EP by Slowdive, released in 1993. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Alison”, on 5 lists with a best position of #417.
Outside Your Room, Slowdive's fourth EP, came out on Creation in 1993, and it takes its title from a lyric in "Alison", the song that also turned up on Souvlaki. The Reading band were among the leading lights of the UK shoegaze scene by then, and "Alison" shows why: Neil Halstead and Rachel Goswell's voices melt into one another under a slow-motion wash of guitar, with Christian Savill's guitar and Nick Chaplin's bass holding the whole dreamy mass together. It sounds like waking up in a warm fog.
The EP reached No. 69 on the UK singles chart, a trailer for the album that followed, and "Alison" keeps coming back: the song has resurfaced on countdowns in recent years, long after the band first split.
