Description
My Bloody Valentine have taken the precise toolkit of Loveless– layered Fender Jaguar guitars made woozy through pedals and tremolo, hushed androgynous vocals way down in the mix– and made another album with it, one that is stranger and darker and even harder to pin down. Where Loveless felt effortless, mbv strains, pushing at its boundaries with a sense of pensive gloom. If the guy spending all those years in the studio felt trapped by the experience, like the walls might be closing in and that he was dead if he didn’t finish, the music here reflects it. mbv is an album of density with very little air or light. But it doesn’t forgo the human touches that have made this band so special. (via Pitchfork)
