About this album
Souvlaki is an album by the British dream pop/shoegazing band Slowdive. It was released on May 17, 1993 in the UK and on February 8, 1994 in the U.S. Widely regarded as their best album, it benefits from synthesizer contributions from co-producer Brian Eno on “Sing” (which he co-wrote) and “Here She Comes.” The album’s U.S. release includes the previously unreleased cover of “Some Velvet Morning” (written by Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra in 1967) and three tracks from the band’s 1993 5 EP, comprising the four U.S. release bonus tracks.
According to interviews with the band, the album was titled after an explicit skit on the first album by telephone pranksters The Jerky Boys, containing the line: “My wife loves that Greek shit. She’ll suck your cock like souvlaki.”

loveless and souvlaki are both great and both very different albums ..90% of the comments are related to this album being better or worse than loveless. you can tell brian eno had some nice touches on this one, big improvements soundwise from "just for a day"

The first track is better than anything on Loveless, but Loveless wins out as the better album overall.

lol, the comparison to Loveless is humorous. Souvlaki is a masterpiece; Loveless is an okay album. Do not compare bronze with Gold.

Souvlaki is much less noisy and more dream pop than Loveless too. Nothing comparable.

I think Loveless is a timeless album with a fantastic sound but Souvlaki have better songs. The sound on Souvlaki is a little dated but you just have to get over that.
