Slowdive - kisses, 2023

"It is comically easy to make a passable shoegaze song with the right pedals and proper settings, but writing a great shoegaze song remains fiendishly difficult. Slowdive remain masters at this evanescent art. “Kisses,” the lead single to their upcoming album Everything Is Alive, and their first new music since 2017’s self-titled, is more delicate than anything on that album, as well as more openly romantic."
