The English shoegaze band Slowdive formed in 1989 and primarily consisted of Nick Chaplin (bass), Rachel Goswell (vocals, guitar), Christian Savill (guitar), Simon Scott (drums) and the band’s primary songwriter Neil Halstead (vocals, guitar). “Morningrise” might be the best shoegaze song of all time, and together with She Calls and Losing Today it is part of the wonderful Morningrise EP. The title track elevates the pop spirit with wonderful guitar cascades. The melody escaping the chorus is then just heart-opening.

Morningrise is available as a limited edition of 4000 individually numbered copies on smoke-colored vinyl. It includes an insert with the Slowdive catalog.
