Slowdive. Formed in Reading, England in 1989 around childhood friends Neil Halstead and Rachel Goswell, and one of shoegaze's defining bands with Just for a Day (1991) and Souvlaki (1993, with Brian Eno collaborating on two songs). 'Crazy for You' is from Pygmalion (Creation, 1995), a sparse record built entirely from samples and loops, made while, as Halstead put it, the band was disintegrating. Drummer Simon Scott had already left, because live drums weren't a big part of it. They split after that, then reunited in 2014. Everything Is Alive (2023) became their first top-ten album in the UK.
