Slowdive and Japanese Breakfast Enchanted and Delighted NYC
The return of Slowdive is much more than a bunch of weathered musicians returning to a style of music that they helped create. In this case, the U.K. band has pulled off a feat that many thought was impossible: creating a record that not only lives up to, but builds upon their legacy. The band's new self-titled LP was well-represented at their first of two NYC dates with Japanese Breakfast, alongside all of those classics that comprised legendary efforts like Souvlaki. Check out the set list below and photos from the show above, courtesy of Angela Owens, and head to our Facebook for even more shots from the gig.
Japanese Breakfast has slowly but steadily grown leaps and bounds since Psychopomp in April of last year. Look for Soft Sounds From Another Planet to hit in July. Pre-order yours at Bandcamp.
