Holding Our Breath

Slowdive

A definitive snapshot of early shoegaze. Four tracks of liquid guitar textures and ghostly harmonies that feel like drifting through a warm, moonlit fog.

June 3, 1991 · Creation Records

Find on Amazon

A serene and slightly mournful drift through a landscape of shimmering sound.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the Syd Barrett cover where the guitars turn into a slow-motion tidal wave.
The way the vocal harmonies on track one seem to detach from the melody and float independently.
The final decay of the reverb tails on the closing track that lasts for several seconds of silence.
