				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>British shoegaze legends Slowdive have announced a UK/EU tour off the back of their new album <em>‘everything is alive’</em> which was released last Friday (September 1). Tickets can be purchased <a href="https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/slowdive-tickets/artist/2015858?irgwc=1&amp;utm_source=2862475-NME%20Networks%20Media%20Limited&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=2862475&amp;awtrc=&amp;clickId=zdmQRZTfwxyNUAZWPp1MB0h4UkFyBHTlnTmkXI0&amp;camefrom=CFC_BUYAT_2862475&amp;ircid=7559">here</a>.</p>
<p>The academy sized tour starts at the Parsdiso in Amsterdam on January 24<sup>th</sup> and commences in Manchester on February 27<sup>th</sup>. The band announced the tour alongside releasing new single <em>‘alife’. </em><br />
<em>‘everything is alive’ </em>marks the band’s second album since reunifying in 2014 and releasing their self-titled album in 2017.</p>
<p>The new album <em>&#8216;everything is alive&#8217;</em> deals with emotionally heavy themes as band members Rachel Goswell and Neil Halstead both dealt with the death of a parent before beginning to record the album. Halstead has however gone on to <a href="https://www.mojo4music.com/articles/stories/slowdive-interviewed/">say</a>: <em>&#8220;I thought it was going to be quite a dark record but once we got together as a band, I think some of that darkness lifted and some of the tunes became a bit lighter,&#8221;</em></p>

<p>The band has gained a big cult-following since disbanding in 1995, thanks to the influence of albums like <em>&#8216;Souvlaki&#8217;</em> and <em>&#8216;Just for a Day&#8217;</em>. The cult-favourite band also played Glastonbury for the first time ever earlier this year.</p>
