Ask Me Tomorrow
The debut, essentially Slowdive unplugged, in Sonic Cathedral's phrase.
Mojave 3, 1995
Studio time came free through the band's EMI publishing deal, per Tracking Angle. Halstead wrote all the songs and sings and plays guitar, Goswell sings, Ian McCutcheon plays drums, Christopher Andrews piano, Rowe guitar on two tracks and Audrey Riley cello on three, with Laura Boussieau and Paul Tipler engineering. Vaughan Oliver and Chris Bigg designed the sleeve. Goswell told First Revival that had Slowdive continued, it would have been the next Slowdive record. AllMusic gave 4 of 5 and Ned Raggett called it arguably the group's high point; the Irish Times's Brian Boyd praised loads of slide guitar, slow piano and brushed drums. Sonic Cathedral reissued it on sea-foam green vinyl in May 2017, 500 copies, and PopMatters compared it to Mazzy Star.
