Sleep

 



Sleep is another standout Slowdive tune from the early 90s. When I listen, I hear Psychocandy turned into something other than Psycho, strong rooting in shoe-gazer protocols, but other things, unexpectedly, too. Like Alex Chilton: something of the madcap primitivism of Third/Sister Lovers is just, as they say, around here. And, Rachel Goswell: did I really see you, standing outside a cafe near Trafalgar Square, in 1990?
