SLOWDIVE 'Pygmalion'

When SLOWDIVE disbanded in 1995 music fans widely associated it with the demise of the shoegaze genre. Their last sign of life was 'Pygmalion' (before they reunited in 2014) and it was, after 'Just For A Day' and 'Souvlaki' a totally different and more abstract album. Where the band attempted to put more song structures in place on 'Souvlaki', they began to incorporate more elements of ambient electronica on 'Pygmalion'. Tracks like "Blue Skied An' Clear" and "Crazy For You" demonstrate that the songs are still there, somewhere - they're just buried under more abstract sounds than before.
