About this album

Creation Records (1993) Released: 1 Jun 1993 10 tracks (40:31)
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.”

    Like lying down on a quiet, secluded grassy hill in the summer, soaking up sun rays with your best friend, occasionally speaking but mostly embracing the pleasantly limp feeling you're experiencing, only it's actually a dream and you haven't done that in years. ........................I've never been too satisfied with the exact arrangement of the words, but that's how I feel about Souvlaki. Absolute bittersweet perfection.

    You are all wrong. Ride's Nowhere is the better album and it came out before Loveless and 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"

    I wouldn't compare them, they're both great in their own ways.

    I agree with @JuliusNepos, no need to troll [2] ... and Souvlaki is a gorgeous album

    They're both great, no need to troll on the much less appreciated Souvlaki page.
