Description
2020 reissue, 12″ LP, Music on Vinyl.
Reissues go one of two ways. Well, OK, maybe three. You’re either left blown away by how fresh something sounds, reminded of a special moment in music history and how good an example a record is of that time capsule, or walk away wondering why you thought it was necessary to play, let alone buy, from this particular archive. As you’d hope, listening back to Slow Dive’s seminal ‘Just For A Day’ fits into the second of those conclusions. Yes, soaring rock that seems to foster our dreams and fantasies in walls of power shoegaze does feel like a recollection rather than where we’re at today. But my goodness do the epic arrangements and woozy artistry in the songcraft still sound as awesome, grandiose and yet personal as ever. One for the books, for sure. – Juno
