Back in the early '90s, a little band called Slowdive were making waves in the UK. With wall of sound, they dwelled in the same realm as My Bloody Valentine, a real shoegaze sensibility, and they thrived. Then they hit a wall. As the loud, brash sounds of Britpop rose, the press soured on shoegaze, and the band decided to call it a day in the mid '90s.

In 2013 they made a comeback and a few years later they made their first ever visit to Australia. As Slowdive ready their return for another tour in 2025, I’m reminded of a brilliant convo I had with singer Rachel Goswell on that first trip, when I invited her in to Take 5.

From her memories as a 7 year old dancing to ABBA, to idolising Siouxsie (and taking her song name as a band moniker), the shoegaze legend shares stories of the '90s British music press, and what is it that inspires her to make music today.

  • ABBA - 'SOS'
  • Grace Jones - 'La Vi En Rose'
  • Siouxsie & The Banshees - 'Cities In Dust'
  • Cocteau Twins - 'Lorelei'
  • Joni Mitchell - 'River'
