Album Description
Available in:
MBV is the third studio album by alternative rock band My Bloody Valentine. It was released on 3 February 2013 in the United Kingdom and on 2 February 2013 in the United States.Following their departure from Creation Records after the release of their second studio album Loveless, My Bloody Valentine signed with Island Records in October 1992 for a reported £250,000 contract.The band's advance went towards the construction of a home studio in Streatham, South London, which was completed in April 1993. Several technical problems with the studio sent the band into "semi-meltdown", according to vocalist and guitarist Kevin Shields,who was rumoured to have been suffering from writer's block.The band recorded and released two cover songs from 1993 to 1996—a rendition of "We Have All the Time in the World" by Louis Armstrong for Peace Togetherand a cover of "Map Ref. 41°N 93°W" by Wire for the tribute album Whore: Tribute to Wire.Rumours had spread amongst fans of My Bloody Valentine that albums worth of material had been recorded and shelved prior to the band's break up in 1997. In 1999, it was reported that Shields had delivered 60 hours of material to Island Records,and vocalist and guitarist Bilinda Butcher confirmed that there "was probably enough songs to fill two albums."Shields later said that at least one full album of "half-finished" material was abandoned and "just [got] dumped, but it was worth dumping. It was dead. It hadn't got that spirit, that life in it."Bassist Debbie Googe has referred to MBV's recording as "a long process" and noted that Kevin Shields recorded most of the album's instrumentation. In an interview with Drowned in Sound, Googe revealed that the album's drum parts had "been added then taken off at least once"—with Shields' brother Jimi Shields recording inital drum tracks and Colm Ó Cíosóig recording final tracks.My Bloody Valentine confirmed the album's release through a post on the band's official Facebook page on 2 February 2013.
User Album Review
With their second album, 1991’s Loveless, a beautiful but fading memory, the suggestion that My Bloody Valentine would release another LP has long been an ongoing joke.
So when frontman Kevin Shields, on stage in London in late January 2013, hinted that this mythical third set may be released within “two or three days”, the reaction was to laugh. Great gag. The guy should be in stand-up.
But then Facebook facts confirmed Shields’ conjecture. There is a new My Bloody Valentine album, titled simply m b v. Fans turning ever-darkening shades of blue can breathe again. It’s here.
At first, this is sound from the very edge of what is considered music – but m b v isn’t just an exercise in layering noises and effects. Shields’ ability (and desire) to make each tune memorable takes precedence over the temptation to destroy audience ears.
she found now sounds as though everything is warming up again, the familiar wall of distortion building away beneath a glow of disorientation. It’s a welcome reminder that this really is MBV, and not some terrible copyists.
The lack of a dramatic shift in direction is comforting. Yet as m b v proceeds it’s clear that the band hasn’t spent 22 years standing still.
is this and yes does with electronics what the band has long done with guitars, its baby elephant drums reminiscent of Loveless’ Loomer, pounding beneath gliding sheens and Bilinda Butcher’s cooing.
if i am undulates with wah effects, its guitars sounding like underwater trumpets. new you brings Debbie Googe’s bass to the forefront, conveying an almost funky swagger.
in another way sees what sounds like bagpipes careen over a punishing rumble and crackling guitar furnace. It’s the nearest this album comes to the propulsive push and release of Soon. wonder 2 is a whirr of spectral phasing and filters.
Throughout, a thought pervades: if you ever considered MBV more of a racket than not, this definitely isn’t an album for you. But has it been worth the wait for fans?
Yes. Strip away the two-decade ‘delay’ and it’s a perfect follow-up to Loveless. It’s an album that 22 years of speculation and analysis haven’t come close to matching the reality of.
It sounds amazing, and represents an astounding return.
