My Bloody Valentine

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Like the Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, and the Jesus & Mary Chain before them, My Bloody Valentine redefined what noise meant within the context of pop songwriting. Led by guitarist Kevin Shields, the group released several EPs in the mid-'80s before recording the era-defining Isn't Anything in 1988, a record that merged lilting, ethereal melodies of the Cocteau Twins with crushingly loud, shimmering distortion. Though My Bloody Valentine rejected rock & roll conventions, they didn't subscribe to the precious tendencies of anti-rock art-pop ...[more]

VINYL FORMAT. 180 gram vinyl repressing. Though it's often seen as just a precursor to their magnum opus "Loveless," in its own way, My Bloody Valentine's "Isn't Anything" is nearly as groundbreaking as their 1991 masterpiece. Not only was it the most lucid, expansive articulation yet of the group's sound, it virtually created the shoegazing scene and spawned legions of followers.

The Glider EP finds My Bloody Valentine exploring the different harmonics in their dissonances and distortion, creating floating layers of sound that are hypnotic in their ebb and flow. The first song, "Soon," is one of the group's greatest sound paintings, filled with evocative textures and eerie, disembodied rhythms, while the title track is nearly as fascinating, making Glider an essential addition to a My Bloody Valentine library. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Though it's often seen as just a precursor to their magnum opus Loveless, in its own way My Bloody Valentine's Isn't Anything is nearly as groundbreaking as their 1991 masterpiece. Not only was it the most lucid, expansive articulation yet of the group's sound, it virtually created the shoegazing scene and spawned legions of followers. The album's tightly structured songs still bore traces of My Bloody Valentine's previous incarnation as jangly indie popsters, but Kevin Shields and company   [ read more ]

Isn't Anything was good enough to inspire an entire scene of My Bloody Valentine soundalikes, but Loveless' greatness proved that the band was inimitable. After two painstaking years in the studio and nearly bankrupting their label Creation in the process, the group emerged with their masterpiece, which fulfilled all of the promise of their previous albums. If Isn't Anything was the Valentines' sonic blueprint, then Loveless saw those plans fleshed out, in the most literal sense: {&"Loo   [ read more ]

Tremolo is one of the EPs that accompanied My Bloody Valentine's influential masterpiece, Loveless. One could consider it more of a single -- it lifts the abstract track "To Here Knows When" from the album -- but its real worth lies in the three songs which accompany it: "Swallow," "Honey Power," and "Moon Song." These are less carefully formed and produced than the tracks on Loveless, but they offer the same sort of material -- any one of them could have been "cleaned up" and includ   [ read more ]
