My Bloody Valentine m b v Deluxe LP

The highly anticipated and long awaited 2013 album from the British Alt-Rock icons led by the esteemed Kevin Shields, m b v is the follow-up to their genre-defining 1991 album Loveless.

Continuing to push boundaries of both music and genre, m b v is an album of astonishing music, some of which could lay claim to being of a type never been made before. Otherworldly, intimate and a visceral listen, m b v is a startling and beautiful metamorphosis of what was known of the My Bloody Valentine sound, pushing the boundaries of genre unlike any other band.

More comforting than revelatory, m b v reaffirms that My Bloody Valentine are one of a kind; the subtlety to their melodies, instrumentation, and the way they blur together belongs to them alone. They're not trying to re-create Loveless, nor should they, and m b v doesn't have to reinvent music (again) to be worth the wait.
