I saw Rachel Goswell's husband-and-wife Slowdive side project, The Soft Cavalry, supporting Ride in December 2019 (turned out to be my final pre-pandemic gig) in Southampton. They were magnificent and easily good enough to make me part with hard-earned cash for the LP which Rachel and Steve were good enough to sign for me.
I couldn't resist asking Rachel about Slowdive and she mentioned that the new album was imminent, even then, which even allowing for a global lockdown suggests the process might have been somewhat slower than anticipated. I cannot wait for the new one. I have really enjoyed the Soft Cavalry as a stopgap (and revisiting Mojave 3 too) but this is the whole package and I am excited for its release.

I'm a huge George Michael fan so quite enjoyed your commentary on him. I still need to watch the documentary so will definitely check it out now.
