Initially underappreciated, Pygmalion is now recognized as a masterpiece. Released in 1995 before Slowdive’s breakup, it marked a shift from the shoegaze textures of Just For A Day and Souvlaki to a more abstract, ambient sound. While still rooted in songcraft, tracks like “Blue Skied An’ Clear” and “Crazy For You” explore minimalism and electronic experimentation, revealing a subtler, more introspective side of the band.
