Slowdive Present Video For “Don’t Know Why” (Dir. Grant Singer) Via Apple Music

Posted on 10/11/2017

Ahead of their forthcoming North American tour, Slowdive are pleased to share their new video for Slowdive cut “Don’t Know Why.” Directed by Grant Singer (The Weeknd, Lorde, Ariana Grande) and starring Autumn Shelly, Duke Nicholson, and Daciana the Dog, the video is presented in three parts:

“This video is less about logic and more about a feeling. It’s a triptych about memory, about being lost and abandoned,” says Singer. “Slowdive has been my favorite band since I was a kid. To say that making this video was surreal would be an understatement. Their music has been this gift – this friend that stays with me always and gets better over time. Hearing their new album left me speechless. So having the opportunity to make something for them is an honor that I don’t take for granted.”

Slowdive’s self-titled album, released this past spring on Dead Oceans to universal acclaim, was their first new record in 22 years. It garnered a slew of praise from the likes of The New Yorker, Vulture, Pitchfork, The Associated Press, SPIN, Newsweek, Billboard, Stereogum, Uproxx, Exclaim, Paste, and more.

“The new self->tled album by Slowdive […] updates its ethereal, dreamlike sound, sharpening the tone established on early records like “Souvlaki,” which was first released in 1993.” — The New York Times

“You could call the new album a comeback, except the latest itera>on of Slowdive feels more resonant than what fans first heard in the early ’90s. They’ve evolved as musicians, and the new songs’ sophis>ca>on reflects that.” — Los Angeles Times

“Slowdive didn’t leave behind three perfect albums. They’ve released four.” — Stereogum, #2 in “The 50 Best Albums Of 2017 So Far”
