@GShaw197 They were excellent. The wall to wall sonics of their guitars worked well in the theatre and the ethereal and understated vocals of Rachel were great. The audience were pretty thrilled, with a tremendous amount of knowledge from old and new material. There was a big age range at the show and l had this thought that it was like adult kids going to see their ultra talented parents in very cool band.
@@Vaughan261342 Ha ha, love this! Agree on the age range comment - I was amazed by how young a lot of the audience were in Exeter which is a very healthy situation for an "old" band to find themselves in. Really glad they managed to reschedule the Australian the dates and you guys are getting to see and hear them.
a dreamy and somewhat cryptic song that seems to explore the theme of seeking fulfillment in new experiences and the impact of fleeting moments ... the song starts with the singer acknowledging the affirmation of being the "best thing" to someone, yet questioning if that is truly what they need ... this ambivalent sentiment is characterized by the chorus repeating the phrase "born desert sun" multiple times, which could represent the transience and warmth of a fleeting moment ... the second verse introduces the idea of leaving behind previous struggles and "ghosts" to start anew in a car ... however, the singer questions what is truly necessary for a fresh start, and whether "living with the truth" is enough ... the song seems to acknowledge that sometimes the "new thing" or "kisses" might be enough to provide temporary satisfaction, but it is unclear whether this will truly lead to a fulfilling and lasting sense of happiness .... overall, "Kisses" seems to be an introspective exploration of the fleeting nature of happiness and the search for fulfillment in new experiences, all set to the dreamy and atmospheric soundscapes that Slowdive is known for ...
@@aaron1888 kisses was the only new track though Sleep also got played again. I had a chat with Christian beforehand about the new album which can be found at re-sound.co.uk
It is up to you I guess. Having shite hearing from too many loud gigs back in the '90s, I'd now always advise protecting hearing, but they are not at MBV levels at all.

I was at this show! They sounded great, and this recording is wonderful. Seriously, can't believe how well the stereo sound is captured here.
Thank you! Filmed on my Sony A7iii that I was using to mainly take stills of the gig but couldn't resist nipping up to the balcony to capture this.
Thank you!
My home town, I can not believe I missed this, thank you for capturing this.
My favourite new song 🎵 of 2023 ! Cant wait for the album on September 1st ! Thanks for this 😊
Brilliant. Only 20 days to go until I see this beautiful band at The Enmore in Sydney. Can't wait.
How was it? From back over here, all the gigs Down Under look to be going very well.

Whilst I'm gutted I couldn't get tickets at the Troxy, last night was one of my favourite gigs ever! Well worth the trip from London.
The video doesn’t do justice to how good they sounded and looked. Well worth being very tired for today 😴
❤
thanks. song i amazing

best analysis / reflections I've read on the song - makes me love it ever more
cool as always..
they’re back lfg!!!!!
Did you record more songs friend?
Sorry, just kisses. I was mainly there for still photos. I can confirm that they sounded fantastic for the whole fourteen song set though 👍🏻
@@GShaw197 thanks for sharing, any more new tracks?

No, they're not that loud. I've seen them several times since they reformed and haven't had the feeling of being slightly deaf afterwards.
