Slowdive – Just For A Day (Black Bio Vinyl LP)

The debut album from English Shoe-gaze pioneers Slowdive, Just for a Day masterfully blends dreamy textures and introspective lyrics, offering a perfect escape into a world of sonic beauty and emotional depth.

Production on Slowdive’s debut began after Neil Halstead persuaded Creation Records head Alan McGee that the band had enough material for an album, though this was not entirely accurate. The group quickly wrote new songs in the studio, experimenting with sounds. Halstead drew lyrical inspiration from the abstract nature of the music, recalling, “We went into a studio for six weeks with no songs and came out with an album”.
