After hinting back in the fall that a new album was on the way, reunited UK shoegaze unit Swervedriver have officially announced their first album in 17 years. The group's I Wasn't Born to Lose You lands March 3 through the Cobraside imprint.

A press release explains that Swervedriver split recordings sessions for the set at Melbourne's Birdland studios and London's Konk facilities. Back in the fall, they delivered a series of tweets during the mixing and mastering stages, including the rather positive "The more we mix, the better it sounds. Luckily."
