When Slowdive ended a 22-year wait for a new studio album, "Star Roving" led the way: it arrived on 12 January 2017 as the first single from Slowdive, their self-titled fourth album, which followed on Dead Oceans that May. Neil Halstead wrote it and produced it himself, Ian Davenport engineered and Chris Coady mixed, and it sounds like a band picking up mid-thought rather than dusting off a reputation.
The album it heralded was their first since Pygmalion in 1995, and the first since Souvlaki in 1993 with drummer Simon Scott back in the lineup. "Sugar for the Pill" followed as the next single in March, and the critics gave the whole comeback a warm welcome.
