My Bloody Valentine

a SKIP on the first track

They're finally posting the video for Only Tomorrow that took 8 years to make.

xpost to Ned:

I know he's a fan, but what the?

Sopranos/MBV crossover?

Actually wouldn't it be something if they were somehow doing the soundtrack to Chase's prequel film?

Hmm. The fact that Imperioli is in on the inside info certainly brings a new twist, which makes me feel like it's not just a repressing/reissue of m b v. Intriguing, to be sure.

they are signed to domino

my guess is reissues/mbv on streaming and a new release later in the year

Which makes sense, for sure. The Imperioli connection just throws me a little. I know he's a megafan, but still.

anything from the MBV camp would be terrific, although i am not sure i want kevin to get too distracted by soundtrack work! the new music exists- you can hear studio version of 'new song 2' at the end of this

fingers crossed there's new material on the way too and it's not just announcing that domino is putting everything up on streaming (their discog is currently unavailable everywhere except north america) & probably reissues

the streaming & signed to domino bit is already confirmed: https://www.reddit.com/r/MyBloodyValentine/comments/mf2gs1/mbv_ad_on_german_spotify_europe_where_all_the/

most exciting part of that

Recently Andy produced, engineered and mixed the critically lauded debut record for BLACK COUNTRY, NEW ROAD, ‘For the first time’. He has also been co-producing and mixing for Domino Records signings SORRY, producing and mixing singles for LADYBIRD, PUREST and JOAN as well as the latest EP by Brighton band FUR. He has also been recording the new album for MY BLOODY VALENTINE and worked with KEVIN SHIELDS on remastering ‘loveless’ and ‘isn’t anything’ for Vinyl. He mixed for another Domino records signing PETER PERRET, Brighton band DREAM WIFE as well as the debut album for Memphis Industries MUSH. Plus he added production and mixed LIZ LAWRENCE’S pity party album.

All right, that pity party album uh wait

relistening to isn’t anything, loveless, the eps comp, and m b v a lot lately, remembering this is the best band ever

Didn't everything just get reissued a couple years ago, including EPs collection? Or have I just completely lost track of time?

try almost ten years ago! May 2012

loveless & isn't anything got a new vinyl remaster in 2018 too

there is someone on the mbv reddit who a few days ago correctly predicted that there'd be something today and is now saying they've heard new material is coming august/september in addition to whatever re-releases are coming on wednesday. don't want to get my hopes up too much though lol

lmao if another new my bloody valentine album comes out before the wrens album

Well the Avalanches started releasing records at a faster pace so maybe Kevin's all "Oh yeah, should start doing more here."

loveless & isn't anything got a new vinyl remaster in 2018 too

Yeah, but them shits is long goooone.

I remember back in the day that Kev made noises about the CDs being the most accurate rendition of Loveless, refused to send promos on cassette I think. I believe the unique thing about the 2018 vinyl was that they reassembled the track segues from the original analogue elements because it’d all been done in the digital domain originally.

Nice to see that Kevin, on top of a load of cables on his vast and beautiful mixing console, has the same cheapo Tandy SPL meter that I've had for the last 25 years :)

This has made me look up SPL meter. So I've almost learned something, though oddly I can't see one in the video above.

Looking forward to whatever is coming, but dear god Kevin sort out the barnet mate.

though oddly I can't see one in the video above

Between 0:46 and 0:48, bottom right-hand corner, during one of the annoying "filmed on Super-8 in the '70s" filtered segments. Just jumped out at me.

That's the precision we need.

He is the mirror to my Dorian Gray. (Maybe.)

The 2018 vinyl reissues of both albums are stupendous, they sound completely amazing and the sleeves are really nice too. It's a shame they are out of print and go for so much money second hand. It would be nice if they gave mbv the same treatment since that sleeve is shit.

What's Michael Imperioli up to?

No idea. (Already linked upthread, btw.)

I'd just like to get a good copy of Isn't Anything on vinyl and not have to pay more than $30 for it. Why is that so much to ask

the CD reissue if isn’t anything sounded excellent if anyone cares

sounded... i believe it still sounds excellent

Relistening to mbv now for the first time in a while...I think I like it a lot more now than I did when it came out. In 2013 it felt kind of disappointing, but almost anything they released would have seemed that way in comparison to Loveless. I wanted it to be another collection of melted power-pop tunes like Loveless, and instead it's a collection of experiments in repetition and mood. I appreciate what it's doing a lot more, these days.

The man is beginning to physically resemble Brian May!

m b v was solid as hell. you guys are crazy.

dunno what's coming, but i'd be stoked even for just an ep. three or four new valentines jams for the summer? count me in.

alternately if this is just an announcement of reissued material, that's going to be fairly underwhelming.

m b v was always another masterpiece

hell yeah, so great

I love how the album kind of self destructs towards the end in the midst of its own massive sonic storm

I'm now wondering if this announcement will tie in with RSD

there's definitely a new album, the real news here is that the logistics & protocols for big tours for acts with older fan bases are lining back up. which is good!

acts with older fan bases

Ouch.

Speak up, sonny.

live bootlegs coming too? redditor found placeholder pages that reference specific shows

Did anyone buy it on vinyl? Was the pressing good?

the pressing was ok. unfortunately, by the time it arrived at my doorstep, the cover/gatefold had tears and rips in two different places

Both of the copies i swiped from urban outfitters had this issue. Everyone i know who bought it reported this also.

I keep mistaking him for Brian May these days.
