Slowdive recently celebrated the fifth anniversary of the release of their phenomenal comeback self-titled album - figured this'd be a great time to get this interview online.  I chatted with Christian and Simon May 6, 2017 backstage before they took their set at L'Olympia.  We covered a lot of ground from how the band decided to get back together, the writing and recording process for that album, and eventually recognizing the legacy they left behind when they initially parted ways.

Huge thanks to Hannah and Harlan @ Secretly Group for setting this up!
