The band consists of [[Neil Halstead]] (vocals, guitars), [[Rachel Goswell]] (vocals, guitars, keyboards), [[Christian Savill]] (guitars), Nick Chaplin (bass), and [[Simon Scott (drummer)|Simon Scott]] (drums, guitars, electronics), all of whom played on the band's early records. Halstead is the band's primary songwriter. After releasing several EPs, the band released debut album ''[[Just for a Day]]'' (1991) and follow up ''[[Souvlaki (album)|Souvlaki]]'' (1993), making the band one of the leading figures of the UK [[shoegaze]] scene of the early 1990s. The group broke up soon after the release of their third studio album, ''[[Pygmalion (album)|Pygmalion]]'', in 1995, having seen Scott, Savill and Chaplin depart the band prior. The remaining members continued under a more [[Folk music|folk]] and [[Country music|country]]-influenced direction as [[Mojave 3]]. Slowdive reunited in 2014 to play the [[Primavera Sound]] festival and released a [[Slowdive (album)|self-titled studio album]] in 2017, their first in 22 years. The band's fifth studio album, ''[[Everything Is Alive (album)|Everything Is Alive]]'', was released in 2023 and became Slowdive's first top ten album in any country, doing so in Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
