One of 2014 s undoubted comeback success stories has to be that of
Slowdive. Written off by sections of the music press before being dropped by their label Creation shortly after the release of third (and final, to date) album
Pygmalion in 1995. However, having been namechecked and cited as an influence by a host of bands ever since - Mogwai, Sigur Ros, Radiohead and M83 being among that number - the band announced their reformation in January of this year.
Their first show at London s Village Underground sold out in minutes, while ensuing performances at various festivals around the globe also drew large audiences. More importantly, the shows themselves felt like euphoric homecomings. Global recognition at last for one of the most iconic and influential bands in recent years.
